He was even dropped by the boxing debutant and had to escape with a split-decision win.
It backdated his unification bout with Usyk from December to February 17 and former super-middleweight champion Froch fears the worst.
He told talkSPORT: “2024 is going to be a fantastic year. Hopefully with a close humdinger with Fury and Usyk.
“I’m picking Usyk for that one, just because of where Tyson Fury is mentally.
“Hopefully Fury can have a good camp and rekindle some of his old greatness in terms of when he fought Deontay Wilder three times.
“He looked good, he looked different every time. I don’t know, that’s gone now. He struggles to get the weight off him.
“He seems under-motivated. When he fought Ngannou he looked confused. Has he got old overnight?
“Hopefully he turns up and gets the job done, because I want those titles to return to Britain, but at the minute I think Usyk wins that fight.”

And Fury’s promotional team also refused to rule out a future rematch with Ngannou, 37, after he “took it lightly”.
