Froch Doubles Down on Fury Criticism Amidst Usyk Bout Postponement
Tyson Fury's recent setback, with his bout against Oleksandr Usyk postponed due to a sparring injury, has reignited the criticism from former world champion turned pundit Carl Froch. In a recent segment on his YouTube channel "Froch on Fighting," Froch expressed skepticism about the validity of Fury's injury and took aim at the rescheduled fight date. Froch, a vocal Fury critic, pointed out the familiar narrative of Fury suffering a cut in sparring, reminiscent of the Otto Wallin fight. He didn't hold back in saying, "I told you so," emphasizing his earlier doubts about the bout's occurrence. The new fight date, set for May 18 after initially being scheduled for February, raised eyebrows for Froch. He dismissed it as a convenient choice and questioned its legitimacy, stating, "They're giving us something to think about... I don't get excited when I hear that." Froch didn't shy away from expressing his opinion on Fury's current status, asserting that the 35-year-old heavyweight is on the decline. He attributed Fury's perceived decline to the demanding trilogy against Deontay Wilder, highlighting a shift in Fury's fighting style and performance. As Froch claimed, "He's on the slide, he's passed his best," citing statistical evidence of Fury's reduced feints, slowed movements, and multiple knockdowns in recent rounds. The controversy surrounding Fury's injury and the subsequent postponement has once again stirred the debate on Fury's form and future in the heavyweight division. #FrochOnFury #TysonFury #UsykVsFury #BoxingCriticism #HeavyweightBoxing #FuryUsykPostponed #FuryControversy
