Carl Froch has once again taken aim at Anthony Joshua after leaking their heated argument over WhatsApp this week.
The pair were once friends as they used train together under Rob McCracken when AJ was an amateur and a young pro, while Froch neared the end of his career.
Joshua even made his first Wembley Stadium appearance on the undercard of Froch’s final fight (the George Groves rematch) in 2014.
Now, AJ is set to headline at Wembley for the third time in his career and his more recent feud with Froch has once again become the topic of conversation.
In a video for his Froch On Fighting YouTube channel, Froch described an interview Joshua gave this week: “He was asked, ‘Carl Froch – one word answer.’ And what did he say? He called me a p***k.
“So I went straight back at him like I’d go back at anyone who called me that.”
Froch then proceeded to post screenshots of their WhatsApp exchange and a video AJ sent him.
Hypothesising as to why Joshua doesn’t like him, Froch said: “Maybe it’s because I’m quite critical, but it’s constructive criticism…
“It’s water off a duck’s back. To be honest I don’t care who I upset.
“There’s no personal animosity. I don’t wanna get personal with the back-and-forth beef.
