CARL FROCH has leaked private Instagram messages with Tyson Fury following the announcement of his fight with Francis Ngannou.
Fury faces the ex-UFC champion in a massive crossover clash on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.
But former boxing star Froch has been outspoken about the bout, which comes six years after Floyd Mayweather beat MMA icon Conor McGregor.
So much so that Fury felt the need to defend the mega-money fight in the Middle East when direct messaging Froch on Instagram.
He said: “The biggest fight in the world moosh. The richest heavyweight fight in history. Carl, don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
