Tyson Fury Branded 'Pathetic' By Carl Froch as AJ Fight Prediction Made

The former heavyweight champion may return to the ring in 2026

Carl Froch has slammed Tyson Fury as 'pathetic' while making a bold prediction about the Gypsy King's potential blockbuster fight with Anthony Joshua.

Fury announced his retirement from boxing earlier this year, following back to back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, with the most recent coming in December 2024. It appeared to mark the end of an era for the heavyweight, who held multiple titles during his career.

However, promoter Frank Warren recently confirmed that Fury is preparing to return to the ring next year. He made the revelation when speaking to DAZN News, explaining: "I spoke to him last week; he said that he's going to come back and fight next year. He wants to do it. He's had a very busy year this year. He's obviously not had a fight this year, but as we've all seen, he's had his documentary."

Warren said his focus had been on filming for Netflix show At Home with the Furys while also revealing he has 'got another documentary that he's finishing off, plus other things he wants'.

"I mean, he's told me categorically he wants to fight next year. So, we'll sit down and see," Warren said.

The news has reignited speculation across the boxing world over who Fury might face in his comeback fight.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has long spoken of his desire to stage a Fury versus Joshua clash, in what he has previously described as the "biggest fight in boxing."

But former British world champion Froch isn't convinced the fight will happen, or even if it does, that it will live up to the hype.

He said: "I don't think Tyson Fury will come out retirement to be honest. He might do because he has said he's going to and if there's massive money on the stake, which there probably will be, but I can only see one winner in that fight and that's Tyson Fury.

"But Tyson's been out now, he goes heavy in between fights, so if he puts on too much weight and then he struggles to get it off and AJ's in the gym, then who knows. But am I bothered about that fight? Do I wanna see AJ against Fury?"

Like Fury, Joshua also suffered defeat in his last outing, losing to Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September 2024.

And Froch doubts whether a fight between a 35-year-old Joshua and a 37-year-old Fury would be as exciting as promoters have promised.

Froch continued: "There's no world titles on the line. They're both past their best.

"AJ was break dancing on his head in his last fight. He was done. Dubois ironed him out.

"And Fury got done twice by Usyk and he's moaning about how he's been robbed and he wants another bite of the cherry.

"It's pathetic."
