Carl Froch ended his career in the best possible fashion but has admitted there is one man who would lure him back a full decade after he officially hung up his gloves for the final time.
Froch’s final fight was a much-anticipated rematch with George Groves. Groves had stunned ‘The Cobra’ in the first fight in November 2013 by knocking him down in the first round and pushing him hard until a controversial stoppage by referee Howard Foster in the 9th round saw Froch, the defending super-middleweight champion, walk away with the win.
The rematch came in May of 2014 and Froch was much more switched on from the off. He eventually caught Groves on the ropes in the eighth round and unleashed the best right hand of his career – and The Ring Magazine’s KO of the year – to knock his man out and leave him unable to beat the count. It was the last punch Froch ever threw in the professional ring.
Speaking on his own Froch On Fighting, the Nottingham man admitted that Jake Paul is the one man he would come out of retirement for.
“If someone like Fake Paul started chatting sh*t about me again, I’d definitely get in there, I’d consider it to be an easy fight. So I’d do it because I’d think easy work.”
Paul is a controversial figure who has largely fought ageing MMA stars, with one loss to Tommy Fury also on his record. He infamously took on the almost 60-year-old Mike Tyson last November and got a wide points win and has recently called out everyone from Anthony Joshua to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
