Claire Foden, the mother of Manchester City midfielder, Phil Foden was involved in a fight on Saturday, February 19, 2022, with some unknown men.
Claire, her son, Phil Foden, and the footballer’s girlfriend, Rebecca Cooke attended the boxing match between Kell Brook and Amir Khan at the Manchester Arena on Saturday.
After the boxing match between the two rivals which Kell Brook won in the 6th round, Claire Foden, his son, and her daughter-in-law were seen backstage in the Manchester arena entering a private room. As they were about to make their way into the private room through a corridor, they heard a voice calling Phil Foden a c***.
Claire could not handle the fact that someone called her son such a name in her presence and decided to take it upon herself to find out who called her superstar son such a derogatory name.
Though she is 41-year-old, Claire went against the men as if she could take them out by herself. She pushed one of the men before the incident turned into a full-blown fight.
The most violent aspect of the brawl was when a man decided to remove the fire extinguisher from the wall to attack one of the men in the video that surfaced on the internet earlier today, February 20, 2021.
Phil Foden’s role in the fight involving his mother and some thugs
In the video that surfaced on the internet showing the fight between Phil Foden’s mother Claire Foden and some thugs, the Manchester City midfielder who earns £100,000-per-week could be seen trying to defend his mother.
After making a violent effort to defend his mother that was fighting for his course, the 21-year-old England international was held back.
His girlfriend, Rebecca Cooke did not play a violent role in the brawl but her voice was heard asking for the man that called her lover a c***. Cooke who has two children for Foden was also heard shouting “Claire” when the brawl had become more intense.
What made Claire Foden fight?
As mentioned earlier, Claire Foden got mad after a voice called her son, Phil Foden a c*** while she and her family including the Manchester City midfielder and his lover Cooke were taken to a private room at the Manchester arena.
Afterward, Claire came out to ask for the voice that called her son a c***. The men around said “no one”. The footballer’s mother then said, “Right, then f*** off.”
Claire then pushed the man and the man reacted by punching her in the face. A man who was at the scene of the incident decided to fight on her behalf while she continued to punch one of the men at the scene of the incident.
So let’s just imagine your Mum being punched by a complete stranger while you’re trying to enjoy your night at the boxing and then people saying oh naughty Phil Foden got himself in a fight. What a bizarre country we live in #mcfc pic.twitter.com/dPfRAl6nsU
