British boxing legend Carl Froch is not letting up with his criticisms of Anthony Joshua despite once being gym mates in Sheffield.
‘The Cobra’ has been laying into Joshua on and off for a while now. He first took umbrage with Joshua when he left Froch’s former coach Rob McCracken and had some parting criticism of his training methods, as well as making comments about ‘The Cobra”s nose.
Joshua recently called Froch a ‘p***k’ in an interview and then sent Froch a message to say he didn’t like him. Since then former super-middleweight champion turned Hall of Famer has very much gone public.
He has laid into ‘AJ’s CV, his mental state, called his upcoming fight with Daniel Dubois a British level match up, claimed that when Andy Ruiz Jr beat him in 2019 he ‘took his soul away’ and plenty more.
Speaking to BestOnlineSpokerSites, Froch has now continued the beef calling the video Joshua sent him showing off piles of cash as ‘pathetic’.
“I’ve not even shared most of the messages. I’ve shared 10% of them.
Whether I should or shouldn’t have done it, I shared the bit where he’s flashing a bit of cash and a Rolex watch. It’s plastic gangster stuff. It’s pathetic, it’s childish, it’s a bit ridiculous and I think he’ll be cringing now.
I’ve done it cause why should I be abused by somebody in his position?”
Next up for Joshua is a tilt at Daniel Dubois’s IBF world title at Wembley on September 21. A win would make him a three-time world heavyweight champion.
