Carl Froch makes brutal threat to Jake Paul after Mike Tyson win
by Steve Wollaston · NottinghamshireLiveNottinghamshire boxer Carl Froch has continued his war of words with You Tube boxer Jake Paul with a chilling promise to knock him out within 30 seconds if the two ever meet.
The latest comments came after an ongoing social media spat between the two after Carl Froch called out the American after his points victory over veteran boxing legend Mike Tyson.
The 27 year old American, who is 31 years younger than Tyson, emerged victorious by unanimous decision in the rescheduled match and after the fight he responded to Froch telling him to "Shut the f*** up."
He added, "First and last time I respond to your broke salty ass," and offered Froch a job washing his cars.
Now, outspoken Froch has hit back, warning Paul: "Listen up Jakey boy. I’m 11 years retired, not done a round of boxing for over a decade, I’m old, grey, and out of shape... I’d knock you out in 30seconds, you are USELESS."
Froch, 47, retired with a 33-2 record and held several super-middleweight titles during his career. His last fight was in May 2014 when he defeated George Groves at Wembley.
On social media, Froch had earlier taunted Paul, saying, "I will tie one arm behind my back and finish you for good," and predicted a "one round demolition job" if Paul were to face him in the ring. However, the American dismissed Froch's challenge, responding, "F***ing sour loser [sic]," and "Shut the f*** up. I've done more in 4 years than you have in your life."
Some boxing fans defended Froch's record, suggesting Paul might be overconfident. One fan commented, "Froch would absolutely sleep you that's why you would never fight him," while another said, "Kneel when you speak to a hall of famer".
Froch stated of Paul in his video: "He's a huge commodity, he sells tickets, he draws in crowds, people are interested. Netflix, 30 million, come on. 74,000 though at the ATandT (Stadium), not quite 80,000, is it? " Froch continued, "He's not there yet, he's getting there but he's not quite there - he doesn't do the big crowds, does he? But he pulls in the old Bunsen burner [earner], doesn't he, Jake Paul."
"So I don't think he'll hang his gloves up. There will be a plan for Jake Paul, but I'll tell you what - my mobile phone won't be ringing, will it? They won't be sending me an email, they won't be contacting my agent to get a fight, because they know."
"I ain't calling him out, I'm just letting you know that he knows that I f***ing know if I went in there with Jake Paul, it would be an absolute mismatch. One round demolition job."
"I'd even tie one arm behind my back and, just imagine, one arm behind my back, just lining him up with this right hand and eventually leathering him with a big uppercut or a big overhand dirty stinker. Put him in the el sparko position like he's been tasered."
