Carl Froch responds to Jake Paul\u2019s fight offer with conditions of his own X: Carl Froch\/Jake PaulBoxing legend Carl Froch has hit Jake Paul with a counter-offer after the YouTuber-turned-boxer suggested he fight Anderson Silva before they possibly square off. Even though he\u2019s still a relative newcomer to the world of boxing, Jake Paul has never lacked confidence in his skills and he hasn\u2019t shied away from calling out all manner of fighters. \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 is putting the final touches on his training camp ahead of his fight with longtime rival Tommy Fury, but he\u2019s also been engaged in a war of words with former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch. The Brit, who last fought in 2014 and racked up an incredible 33-2 record, has been critical of Jake\u2019s boxing endeavor over the past few years. Jake urged him to fight Anderson \u2018The Spider\u2019 Silva before the pair could meet and Froch could get a \u201cpayday\u201d from fighting him. Carl Froch answers Jake Paul fight offer with his own condition Well, the boxing Hall of Famer has hit back at the YouTuber-turned-boxer, labeling him a \u201cperforming clown.\u201d However, he says he will listen to Jake\u2019s offer if he beats Fury on February 26. \u201cI won\u2019t be fighting the Mixed Martial Arts legend Anderson Silva on your undercard, I\u2019ve got too much respect for him. And your punch \u2013 did that even land? Very dubious,\u201d Froch said, referencing Jake\u2019s contentious fight against Silva. \u201cAnyway, you\u2019ve got a job to do against Tommy Fury. If by some miracle you manage to beat Tommy Fury then I\u2019ll listen to you, I\u2019ll have a little chat with you, see what garbage comes out of your mouth, see what you\u2019ve got to say.\u201d As it stands, Jake is yet to respond to Froch\u2019s counter-offer, but he rarely keeps quiet even when preparing to fight someone else. So, expect to see him fire back before long, even if the super-middleweight is threatening to send him into \u201corbit\u201d and \u201cknock that stupid barnet off\u201d with his signature right hand. Who is Carl Froch? As noted, Froch \u2013 who was born in Nottingham, England \u2013 is a boxing Hall of Famer after racking up a 33-2 record. He last fought in 2014, defeating George Groves in the second of their two fights. That was a domestic super fight at the time, held at Wembley in front of 80,000 fans \u2013 a fact that Froch is keen to remind fans of every time he is utilized as an analyst for fights. Known as The Cobra, the 45-year-old is a two-time super-middleweight champion, so he\u2019s around Jake\u2019s weight class naturally. If anything does happen between Jake and the boxing legend, we\u2019ll keep on top of it. So, check back for more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
