The latter tore into The Cobra during Tyson Fury\u2019s press conference previewing his April showdown with Arslanbek Makhmudov.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">John stormed around the arena trying to seek out Froch, who was acting as a pundit for the event. Within his rant, he accused the 48-year-old of \u2018running like a b****\u2019 and warned that he would \u2018punch your f***ing head in\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The rant clearly irritated Froch, who hit back, suggesting that the pair must now go head to head. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Froch said: \u201cBig John Fury the fighting man. Put some respect on your name. Put some respect on your own name. Grow a set of knackers. You said you know you\u2019re afraid of no man but God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cSo get yourself in the gym, get yourself throwing a few punches and start to feel good about yourself.
