Carl Froch says he'd come out of retirement to 'beat up' Jake Paul with no training

Former boxing champion Carl Froch has admitted that he would come out of retirement to take on Jake Paul.

The Cobra, 45, who quit in 2014, said he would lace the gloves up again to battle the former Disney star who has taken the sport by storm over the past few years.

Paul, 25, is now 5-0 as a pro having beaten former MMA fighter Ben Askren and ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley in 2021.

“He can’t really fight, he knows how to stand up straight and he knows how to swing a punch, but he’s not a professional boxer.

 “So to answer your question, if Jake Paul called me out, then absolutely.

“I wouldn’t even train for it, I’d take him on, I’d beat him up, and I’d get a good pay day because it’s Jake Paul, then I would go home happy.”

Froch previously claimed he would be willing to face Paul but only if he agrees to give him at least $50 million in cash.

He told iFL TV: “I wish he’d call me out. Easy money.

“All them YouTubers are easy money, let’s be honest. Come on, they can’t fight, they’re swinging handbags…
