John Fury FIRES BACK at Carl Froch, Accepts Fight & BLASTS Tyson vs. AJ

John Fury joins Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons for one of the most revealing episodes of Fight Your Corner yet. John addresses the ongoing war of words with Carl Froch, explains how the rivalry started, reveals whether he genuinely wants the fight to happen and gives his honest assessment of "The Cobra". He also opens up on whether his own family want him stepping into the ring at this stage of his life. John explains why he would rather never see his son Tyson face Anthony Joshua, what he really thinks of AJ as a fighter and the one factor he believes can make the biggest difference to Tyson's chances on a fight night. John also reveals why he never wanted Tyson to become a professional boxer, the moment he realised his son was destined for greatness and the painful sparring session that he still remembers. Elsewhere, he discusses whether Tyson should continue fighting, the role boxing plays in his son's mental health, why nobody in the Fury family should be sharing a ring with Darren Till and what comes next for Tommy Fury following his victory over Eddie Hall. There's also a fascinating look back at some of boxing's greatest names, as John explains why he idolised Mike Tyson, while Tony shares the advice the former undisputed heavyweight champion once gave him over dinner. They also discuss Frank Bruno's popularity, how he would have fared in today's heavyweight division and the qualities that made him a national treasure. Finally, John opens up about the challenges he faced growing up as part of the travelling community, why family remains the most important thing in his life and what it's really like starring in Netflix's At Home With The Furys.

The UFC heavyweight champion is back on Fight Your Corner. Tom Aspinall joins Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons for another unmissable episode. Tony is left stunned after discovering Tom hasn't been invited to attend the UFC's White House card, despite fighters competing for the interim heavyweight title and a future shot at the championship. The conversation then turns to one of the biggest debates in combat sports: is boxing actually more dangerous than MMA? Drawing on their own experiences inside the ring and cage, they break down the long-term effects of head trauma, stoppages and the realities of competing at the highest level. The guys also discuss Jon Jones, whether Tom fancies facing Francis Ngannou and the crossover appeal of boxing and MMA, with Tom explaining why his focus remains firmly on building his UFC legacy rather than chasing the biggest paydays, and why Georges St-Pierre remains his greatest inspiration. Tom also reflects on his incredible rise through mixed martial arts, revealing how different the sport was when he first started training, travelling across the country in search of coaches and sparring partners long before MMA became mainstream in the UK.
