Fury Criticized by Froch
Former professional boxer Carl Froch has revealed that he has changed his opinion on the highly anticipated match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Froch was critical of Fury's last performance against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, who was making his boxing debut. Despite Fury's victory, Ngannou even scored a knockdown, leading to controversy over the split-decision outcome.
Next Fights for Fury and Joshua
Tyson Fury is set to face Oleksandr Usyk next, while Anthony Joshua will return to the ring on March 8 against Ngannou. If both Fury and Joshua emerge victorious, it could pave the way for their long-awaited match later this year.
Froch's Prediction
Froch, speaking on talkSPORT, stated that he now makes Tyson Fury the favorite in a potential fight against Anthony Joshua. However, he believes that Fury won't be as dominant as he was before his bout with Ngannou. Froch also expressed doubts about Joshua's ability to defeat Usyk, stating that Usyk has the upper hand in any future encounter.
Concerns Over Fury's Form
Froch raised concerns about Tyson Fury's recent form heading into his upcoming fight with Usyk. Fury was forced to withdraw from the scheduled bout on February 17 due to a serious cut sustained in sparring. Froch noted that Fury, at 35 years old, is getting hit more frequently and is showing signs of slowing down. He believes that Fury's age and increased weight will pose challenges for him in the ring.
Overall, Carl Froch's changing prediction adds another layer of intrigue to the potential Fury vs. Joshua showdown. Boxing fans will eagerly await the outcome of both fighters' upcoming matches to see if the highly anticipated clash will finally come to fruition.
