Carl Froch, who hasn't fought professionally in a decade, says Jake Paul is the only fighter who could get him back in the ring.
Froch's last fight was in May 2014. He defended his super-middleweight title against George Groves in a rematch. The fight ended when Froch knocked out Groves in the eighth round with what he calls the best right hand of his career. That punch won The Ring Magazine's KO of the Year and was the last one Froch threw as a pro.
The rematch followed their first fight in November 2013. In that bout, Groves shocked everyone by knocking Froch down in the first round. The fight ended controversially when referee Howard Foster stopped it in the 9th round, giving Froch the win.
Now, a decade later, Froch is thinking about coming back. But he's not interested in fighting just anyone. He's got his eye on Jake Paul, the controversial figure who's made a name for himself in boxing.
Paul has mostly fought older MMA stars. He lost once to Tommy Fury and recently beat Mike Tyson, who's almost 60, by a wide margin on points. Paul's been calling out big names like Anthony Joshua and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
Froch shared his thoughts on his own platform, Froch On Fighting. He said:
"If someone like Fake Paul started chatting sh*t about me again, I'd definitely get in there, I'd consider it to be an easy fight. So I'd do it because I'd think easy work."
It looks like Froch is ready to lace up the gloves again, but only if Paul provokes him enough. The ball's in Paul's court now. Will he take the bait and try to lure Froch out of retirement? Only time will tell.
