Carl Froch has once again taken a swipe at Jake Paul, with their war of words showing no signs of relenting.

Froch and Paul traded words on social media following the latter’s unanimous decision victory over Mike Tyson in Texas last Friday, with ‘The Cobra’ claiming he would defeat the YouTuber inside a round.

The former super middleweight world champion believes the bout was scripted to ensure ‘The Problem Child’ emerged victorious and insists he cannot class himself as a legitimate professional fighter.

“After the Mike Tyson fight, he’s really just exposed himself for what he is,” the 47-year-old said on his YouTube channel Froch On Fighting.

“He couldn’t do anything with Mike Tyson.

“He’s talking about [how] he took his time with him.

“He couldn’t do anything with him and Mike Tyson actually looked like he was fighting to a script.

“The whole thing’s a big joke shop.

“It’s all a big scam, a big fraud. He’s conning people, but if people are going to tune in and watch it and Netflix are going to continue to pay him mega money, then fair play to him, well done.

“I admire you from that sense, because you know how to make money.

“But let’s not forget, you’re just a professional p*** taker.

“I’ve seen you dancing on TikTok, you’re a f***ing joke and you are not a professional boxer.

“You never, ever will be.”

 

Froch has been out of the ring since knocking out George Groves in their rematch at Wembley Stadium in 2014.

Paul secured his 11th professional win with the bout against Tyson, 58, apparently attracting 60m viewers on streaming giant Netflix.

Responding to the Nottingham man on X, the 27-year-old replied: “F***ing sour loser.

“Shut the f*** up.

“I’ve done more in 4 years than you have in your life.

“First and last time I respond to your broke salty a**.

Let me know if you want to wash my cars.”
