Mother, Leader, Legend: Claire Foden is our Queen
Saturday night’s Khan v Brook fight was a magnet for drama – brawls broke out in the crowd, Brook settled a 17 year feud by winning in the sixth round, and Jordan Pickford called someone a parrot.
Meanwhile, Man City wonderkid Phil Foden and his mum Claire were involved in an ugly backstage scrap with a group of men, one of whom punched Claire.
The fight, captured in a fairly shocking video, started after the blokes taunted Foden over his side’s 3-2 loss to Tottenham and called him a “cunt”, leading his mum to come looking for the culprits.

There’s rightly been a lot of condemnation for the guy who hit her, but frankly we think Claire deserves some praise for her mean right jab.
If we’d taken a punch from some lowlife in a dingy corridor, we’d be running for the safety of the VIP room, but Claire came out swinging, and landed several shots to the face before one of her entourage brought the noise with a fire extinguisher.
We’ve watched the full tape a few times, and while overall it’s a fairly horrible scene, it’s a clear points victory for Ms Foden.
