After receiving more ‘abusive’‘ Deal with it like men’ – Carl Froch tells Anthony Joshua to meet him face-to-face after receiving more ‘abusive’
Carl Froch wants a showdown with Anthony Joshua in person.
The pair were once friends as they used train together under Rob McCracken when AJ was an amateur and a young pro, while Froch neared the end of his career.
However, they now have a long-standing feud which began after Joshua split with McCracken in 2021.
Last week, Froch leaked messages he exchanged with AJ after being called a ‘p***k’ by the heavyweight in a new interview.
And now, Froch has told BestOnlinePokerSites: “I’ve shared 10 per cent 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?
“I’ve kept 90 per cent of what he’s said away.

“He’s messaged me again, overnight, and deleted four of the messages.”
Following these new messages, Froch has challenged Joshua to meet him face-to-face to settle the fued.
“I’ve had a barrage of abuse directed to me, but I don’t mind meeting up and dealing with it like men,” Froch said.
“Because if you’re going to do little backstab jibes and send me messages abusing me.
“Then what am I going to do? I’m going to expose you for what you are.”
Froch was also asked about a fantasy fight between AJ and Frank Bruno.
He replied: “The Frank Bruno that fought Lennox Lewis in Cardiff back in the 90s – that Frank Bruno beats Anthony Joshua.
“It’s just all about timing and you can’t hold that against Anthony Joshua.
“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.”
Froch concluded: “I’ve always said he’s a bit mentally fragile since losing to Ruiz.
