KSI is the latest person to find himself on the end of one of former super middleweight world champion Carl Froch’s now infamous verbal assaults.
Froch has had plenty to say about KSI’s nemesis Jake Paul in the past but, up until this point, the London-based YouTuber has mostly managed to avoid receiving some heat from ‘The Cobra.’
However, that all changed after the YouTuber-turned-boxer got extremely personal with former Chelsea left back Wayne Bridge, as they faced off at the Darren Till vs Anthony Taylor Misfits show in Manchester this past weekend.
When the pair entered the ring, ‘The Nightmare’ immediately brought up the scandal surrounding Bridge’s ex-girlfriend and former teammate John Terry, which the 44-year-old was visibly taken aback by.
And speaking on his YouTube channel, Froch blasted KSI for the comments and claimed he would have “slapped him like a b****” if he had been in Bridge’s position.
“I saw KSI jump in the ring and face off with Wayne Bridge. He walked right into it, didn’t he?
“Because KSI, the little worm, he started on his missus and the whole John Terry shenanigans from back in the day. Bringing up old s***, bring up some new material if you’re going to have a go at someone.
“Wayne Bridge really should have just slapped him across his stupid chops. If you’re going to talk like a b****, you get slapped like a b**** – that’s what I’d have done.
“But Wayne Bridge kind of let him get away with it. And now he’s pulled out of the fight. So the whole thing was kind of pointless.”
As Froch alluded to, Bridge withdrew from the bout earlier in the week, citing concerns about backlash on his family as a result of KSI bringing up the John Terry incident.
It remains unclear who the 31-year-old, real name JJ Olatunji, will now fight, though he has been linked to former UFC stars Nate Diaz and Luke Rockhold over the past 12 months.
