Carl Froch Escalates Feud with Anthony Joshua with Bold Claims
Carl Froch has added more fuel to his ongoing feud with Anthony Joshua by making some significant claims.
Froch and Joshua were once good friends and former training partners at Team GB’s Sheffield HQ, but their relationship has soured in recent years, leading to bitter exchanges.
Froch, who has been the more vocal of the two, continues to criticize Joshua and his career.
Recently, during a game of word association, Joshua referred to Froch as a “p***k,” which didn’t sit well with Froch.
In response, Froch backed a prime Frank Bruno to beat Joshua in a hypothetical match and even suggested that a loss to Daniel Dubois on September 21 at Wembley could mark the end of Joshua’s career.
“The Frank Bruno that fought Lennox Lewis in Cardiff back in the 90s – that Frank Bruno beats Anthony Joshua. I’m sorry, but he just does. It’s just all about timing, and you can’t hold that against Anthony Joshua,” Froch told BestOnlinePokerSites.
He continued, “I know they call it heavyweight, but it’s very thin now. The landscape of heavyweight boxing. It’s not what it used to be. I think if Anthony Joshua loses to Dubois, it could be the last we see of him.”
The rivalry intensified when Froch shared what appeared to be private messages from Joshua after being called a “p***k.” Froch claimed that the messages he shared were just a small portion of the entire exchange.
“I’ve shared 10 percent of the messages. I mean, it’s schoolboy stuff. It’s like plastic gangsters. It’s pathetic really, it’s childish and it’s a bit ridiculous. I think he’ll be cringing to himself at that. I’ve shared it because why should I be abused by somebody in this position and be called that name?” Froch explained.
He added, “I’ve kept 90 percent of what he’s said away. He’s messaged me again, overnight, and deleted four of the messages.”
As the feud between Froch and Joshua continues to heat up, fans are left wondering how it will impact Joshua’s preparation and performance in his upcoming fight against Dubois.
