  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nTyson Fury has broken his silence on the ongoing row between his father John and former world champion Carl Froch, branding the entire saga a publicity stunt.\n\nIt marks the first time the Gypsy King has spoken about John since his dad said their relationship had been 'destroyed' by boxing.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSpeaking to OOOSCH TV ahead of his 11 April comeback bout against Arslan Makhmudov, the heavyweight dismissed the confrontation as nothing more than attention-seeking.\n\n\"To be honest with you, it's all for views and clicks,\" Fury stated. \"I think the Saudis were very happy with it all. It gained a lot of global attention.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nHe acknowledged his 61-year-old father's ability to generate headlines, describing him as \"gold at it\" when it comes to creating hype.\n\nThe dispute erupted at last month's press conference promoting Tyson Fury's upcoming fight, where John Fury launched a tirade of abuse at Froch.\n\nThe 61-year-old repeatedly yelled \"run like a f***ing b***h\" at the former super-middleweight champion, who was present in his capacity as a DAZN broadcaster.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nJohn later explained his outburst was prompted by Froch \"making videos\" about him.\n\nThe former world champion responded by accepting the challenge to fight on his son's undercard, declaring that \"it might be my job to finally shut this big gobs***e up.\"\n\nFroch subsequently revealed that discussions with broadcasters had taken place regarding a potential bout between the pair.\n\n### LATEST SPORTS NEWS:\n\n\n\n\n  * Wales fans boo 'God Save The King' in 'meaningless' Northern Ireland stalemate\n  * Tiger Woods provides update on his golf future as he breaks silence following arrest\n  * Thomas Tuchel reveals 'scary' concern for England after disappointing defeat to Japan\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHowever, he claimed negotiations had stalled due to John's insistence that his other son, Tommy, be included on the fight card.\n\n\"He's basically put a blockade in there with his son, Tommy,\" Froch stated on his YouTube channel.\n\n\"Which is ridiculous because, let's be honest, no-one gives a s**t about Tommy fighting. Who cares?\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nDespite the public back-and-forth, no formal agreement has been reached between the 48-year-old former champion and John, who turns 62 this year.\n\nFury was scathing in his assessment of both men's behaviour, questioning the logic behind the proposed contest.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"Do you think I'm going to let my dad fight Carl Froch? How's he going to fight a 60-year-old man? Have some brains, you silly f***er. Both of them,\" he said.\n\nThe heavyweight also took aim at Froch's motivations, accusing the former champion of attempting to \"boost his name off an old man's name.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nFury concluded by urging both parties to reconsider their approach to the situation.\n\n\"They need to just have a bit of sense and show some professionalism in this game,\" he added.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
