Paul receives brutal call-out from Froch as terms set-out for comeback

Former unified super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has revealed that he would come out of retirement to face Jake Paul. Froch believes he would ‘school’ The Problem Child and wouldn’t need to train much in order to do so.The Cobra stepped away from the ring in 2014 after back-to-back victories over fierce rival George Groves. During his 12-year stint in the paid ranks, Froch won 33 of his 35 contests including big wins over the aforementioned Groves, Mikkel Kessler, Arthur Abraham, and Jermain Taylor.Froch has remained happily retired ever since and now plies his trade as a boxing pundit. However, a fight with Paul would be too good to turn down for the 45-year-old.’Jake Paul can’t fight, he’s pretending, he’s conning people. He’s got his audience; I don’t begrudge him – he’s making money and doing what he’s doing. But he’s not a professional boxer. He knows not to come anywhere near me,” Froch told William Hill.

I wouldn’t even train for this guy; I’d do a little bit of training. I might do the odd little run to get the heart beating, but I’d take Jake Paul to school and hammer him. He knows it, he wouldn’t fight me. No chance.’He added: ‘I’d fight him and his brother on the same night. What they could do is take it in turns, so Jake can do round one, Logan can do round two… So, they’re having a four-minute breather between rounds. It’s never been done, it’s exhibition boxing. I’d take them both on.’MORE BOXING NEWS…Joshua ‘might be thinking about retiring’ after delaying comebackFury sparring partner lists three reasons Gypsy King beats AJ and UsykBritish boxer Cam Shaw dies at 25 while snorkelling in Australia Carl Froch appeared on William Hill’s Stripped podcast (Image: William Hill)Since turning over as a professional in 2020, Paul has racked up a 5-0 record in the sport.

However, recent boxing victories over ex-WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and fellow MMA legend Tito Ortiz have paved the way for a post-UFC run in the squared circle.After this fight, the long-awaited grudge match with Tommy Fury is expected to be explored in some capacity.
