Tyson Fury’s five-fight plan including Anthony Joshua blasted by Carl Froch who fears Gypsy King is ‘slowing down’

CARL FROCH fears Tyson Fury is “slowing down” and blasted his bold five-fight plan.

Fury was forced to pull out of his scheduled February 17 undisputed title bout with Oleksandr Usyk after suffering a cut in sparring.

It has been rescheduled to May 18 in Saudi Arabia and the Gypsy King ruled out any chance of retirement.

He announced plans for at least FIVE more bouts; two double headers with Usyk and Anthony Joshua as well as a rematch against Francis Ngannou.

But Froch – who has been largely outspoken against Fury – is doubtful.

He told talkSPORT: “I don’t think we’ll even get one fight with Anthony Joshua.

“The fact that he is talking about five fights and is now 35 years old and he fights once a year.

“He’s heading towards 40 years old, he struggles to get the weight off and is up and down mentally.”

Fury, 35, was dropped by ex-UFC champion Ngannou, 37, in October but escaped with a controversial split-decision win.

He proceeded onto his unification bout with Usyk, 37, which is set to be contested over two fights as part of a £150million deal.

And Fury boasted of then wanting to get Joshua, 34, into the ring for two British blockbusters.

But Froch said: “Regardless of what Tyson says – I’ll hit you with some facts and statistics – he’s slowing down massively.

“He used to throw 50 feints a round, always throwing feints, light on his feet with fast hands.

“He doesn’t even throw 15 feints [now]. I’ve sat and watched it and marked it down like a saddo, like a geek, like a tech geek.

“And I’ve been marking down and watching him, he’s slowing down, he’s on the slide.

“He’s been on the floor five times in his last 70 rounds of boxing… the big problem is he’s getting hit a lot more now, and when you start getting hit at that weight you’ve got problems.

“Now, he’s sitting flat-footed, not throwing feints, getting hit with more shots, going on 36 years old and he’s getting bigger and heavier.

“The desire is not there, we saw that in the Netflix show. So, has he got five more fights left with these top contenders? I’d say no.”
