So Tyson Fury did what he had to do to keep his end of the deal in Pattaya in Thailand. Now it's Jeddah and it's Anthony Joshua. He has to get rid of Christian Prenger to stay on track for a British super fight. AJ against Fury. We're just one fight away from that being secured. I'm Steve Bunce and this is Five Live Boxing.
Steve Bunce 1:01
So the moon is out. It's pitch black. It gets that way in Saudi Arabia. When it's dark, it's dark. There's no dusk. Bang. It's dark. Now, we have to talk about, obviously, Anthony Joshua. We have to talk about that big fight. And I've gathered... A fine cast. Paddy, the producer, he's obviously here. It's late at night, but I don't care. And Carl Frampton is here. Now, Carl, before we talk about this fight, we're going to hear from someone who's ringside for Tyson Fury, who fought a few hours ago in Pattaya in Thailand. I've got to ask you about last night. Because it turns out that you went out with Barry Jones for a Hubble bubble, normal thing. So about one or two o'clock in the morning, Barry decided to walk home.
Steve Bunce 1:46
You decided to walk home via a kebab shop or burger bar or something like that. And then I'm reliably told. that you were involved in a situation. Now, before we move on with the pod, I need to know exactly what happened and what happened and what was said.
Carl Frampton 2:02
So it was a strange confrontation, very strange. So me, Addy, Oladipo, he was there too, Barry Jones, went for a shisha. On our way back, I fancied a burger. The boys didn't. So they walk on the hotel. Now, the place we were at is about 600 meters away from the hotel, so no distance at all, really. The boys went on. I got my burger, coming back on my own. And these four guys, right? Three of them didn't say a thing, but one of them, who was about my height, maybe a little bit taller. So for people that don't know, that's... Locals. Yeah, a local kid, about five. He was probably about five. I'm 5'5", so he was 5'6", 5'7", something like that. Quite stocky. And he called me over and says, I thought he was trying to sell me something.
Carl Frampton 2:49
And then he says, in a voice as calm as this, do you want to have a fight, bruv? And I was like, what?
Steve Bunce 2:56
So he braved you off at 2 o'clock in the morning and asked you for a fight?
Carl Frampton 2:59
And I said, what, a fight? Like me and you have a fight? He said, yeah, do a quick fight.
Steve Bunce 3:05
Was he shaping up a little bit?
Carl Frampton 3:06
He kind of, not really, but he was standing like he was proud and he wanted to have a fight. And I kind of went, what, me and you? And he said, yeah, let's go, quick fight. Quick fight? And I said, it wouldn't end well for you, mate. And just turned and walked away. And then he called me a bad word that I'll not say on this, but if you think of a cat, that was the word he said as I walked away. And not kitten. And not kitten, yeah. So I'm just, I was raging. My blood was boiling and I just kept walking. I was on my own. Not that I was afraid of the lad, because I don't know. Or the other three that were with him. No, they didn't say anything. And they were a bit younger. So this kid, I think he was in his early 20s.
Carl Frampton 3:50
They were maybe 18, 19, something like that. Yeah, I just walked away, but I was fuming inside. I was thinking, just because of where I am, I started to think, if I chin this lad, I might go to jail for the rest of my life.
Steve Bunce 4:05
And who is he? You don't know who he is.
Carl Frampton 4:06
I had no idea who he was. He could be someone very wealthy, his young son or cousin or nephew. Absolutely no idea. And he was calm the whole way. He didn't shout, just wanted to have a fight.
Steve Bunce 4:16
And can I ask you one? And we will get to talking about Joshua and Pringham and obviously a little bit on Tyson Fury. We'll hear from Tom Ivers, who's been in Pattaya. We will go on to that. But could I ask you what the reaction was with the people that you work with? And I'm talking specifically about Tony Bellew and Barry Jones. I'd like to know what their reaction was.
Carl Frampton 4:36
Barry got angry today. I could see him when I was telling him the story. For some reason, his fist was clenched.
