Sickening moment thug punches Manchester City star Phil Foden’s mum Claire in backstage brawl at Brook vs Khan fight

THIS is the shocking moment a thug punches Phil Foden’s mum during a furious fire extinguisher brawl after Amir Khan’s boxing fight on Saturday.

Claire Foden is seen confronting a group of men after one calls her Man City ace son a “c***” in the shock vid that emerged overnight.

The £100,000-a-week midfielder later steps in and tries to fend off the yobs – while another man is seen ripping off a fire extinguisher and using it as a weapon.

The clip, which has been widely shared on social media and filmed in a corridor of Manchester’s AO Arena, begins with a seething Foden, 21, turning as he appears to be goaded following City’s 3-2 defeat to Spurs earlier in the day.

The 21-year-old’s girlfriend Rebecca Cooke turns and shouts: “Who you calling a c***?”

The couple then walk into a private room at the arena following Khan’s bloody defeat by Kell Brook.

Foden’s mum Claire is then seen walking out and asks the group: “Right, who’s calling him?”

One of the men replies: “No one.”

Claire says: “Right, then f*** off.”

She appears to push out at a man in a black jacket, forcing him back several steps, before the attacker steps in and takes a swing at her.

It’s not clear if the blow connects, but the 41-year-old reels back and a man in a black baseball hat steps in and punches out in her defence.

SHOCK BRAWL

Rebecca can be heard screaming: “Claire.”

Claire then hits out at two men, repeatedly striking a young blonde man in the face. He makes no attempt to strike back.

She also slaps out at the balding assailant who hit her.

A brawl breaks out, with around seven people scrapping in the corridor.

The man in the baseball cap grabs a fire extinguisher from the wall, lunging towards the blonde man.

It appears as if he smashes him over the back of the head as he walks away.

The brawler in the hat then lunges out with the appliance twice more before the clip abruptly ends.

England ace Foden, who wears a blue hoodie and jeans, is seen briefly as he tries to defend his mum.

ACE’S MUM PUNCHED

He plays no further role in the fight and doesn’t throw a punch.

Rebecca also stands away from the fighting.

It’s understood that Greater Manchester Police has been contacted over the scrap.

The Sun has approached Foden and his representatives for comment.
