Former super middleweight world champion, Carl Froch has named the one man he would return to boxing to face.

Froch has not boxed since his epic rematch win over George Groves back in 2014, and has said on several occasions he is content with life in retirement.

However, there is one fight that could lure ‘The Cobra’ into the rig for one last dance – Jake Paul.

The Nottingham man has had plenty to say about Paul since he started his professional boxing journey, and was especially critical of his fight with Mike Tyson last November.

And Speaking on his YouTube channel, Froch said a bout with ‘The Problem Child’ would be “easy work.”

“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.”

There has been no news on who Paul will fight next, after talks for a blockbuster against Canelo Alvarez fell through at the last hour due to the Mexican legend signing a four-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh’s Riyadh Season instead, which commences on May 3 against William Scull in Saudi Arabia.

The Ohio native called out former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua last week, however Froch warned him he’d be risking his life stepping into the ring with ‘AJ.’

“I can’t believe it’s even being mentioned, but it is being mentioned. I think AJ is way too big, he throws a good one-two down the pipe.

“If he lands that right hand on fake Paul’s chin, it’s f***ing game over surely.

“It might be the end of his life if he’s not f***ing careful!

“He’s just fought Mike Tyson, which was ridiculous, the Canelo fight never went anywhere. So now I feel like he’s clout chasing.

“He needs a big name, so he’s talking bull**** about AJ! But it would make sense for AJ to fight Jake Paul. It’s mega money and he would hammer him with ease.”
