FRANK WARREN has hit back at Carl Froch after the former world champion criticised Tyson Fury for getting cut in sparring and delaying his clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
The Hall of Fame promoter claimed "haters" are talking "b******s" when they question the 'Gypsy King' as he also blasted ex-cruiserweight title holder Johnny Nelson.
Fury, 35, was forced to postpone his undisputed heavyweight showdown with Usyk after he needed 11 stitches in a cut suffered in sparring last week.
The bout will now take place on May 18 in Riyadh but Froch (above, right) launched a scathing attack on Fury for picking up the cut so close to the original date and said he should have worn a "face guard" in sparring.
The two-time super-middleweight champion had earlier questioned if Fury was cut and then later went on to claim that the wound looked "seven to 10 days old"
