After public row” Anthony Joshua sends brutal Message Card to Carl Froch 

Carl Froch and Anthony Joshua have been caught up in a number of tense exchanges in the past and the latter has renewed his rivalry after sending a voice note into The Cobra’s podcast

publicly questioned Carl Froch’s world title after sending him a pointed voice note.

The pair – former Team GB boxing teammates – have shared a tense relationship since then. They have butted heads on a number of occasions.

The Cobra shared a number of insulting messages between the pair earlier this year after Joshua’s upcoming fight with Daniel Dubois was announced. Froch suggested that Joshua was “spoiled” and claimed he had “lost a bit of class”.

And the pair have now butted heads again. The two-time heavyweight world champion sent Froch a voice note questioning his world champion status after his 2008 bout with Jean Pascal.

In a message sent to Froch’s podcast, Joshua said: “What’s happening? How’s your week going? How’s your podcast going? Quick question – when you boxed Jean Pascal for your first world title in Nottingham actually, Tyson Fury actually made his pro debut on that card, you fought for a vacant title right?

“So you didn’t beat a champion. What do you feel about that? Do you feel that you was regarded a champion because you fought for a vacant one? So the title not being there, it would have just been a normal fight. But they threw a title in the air and you became champion.

“You didn’t beat a champion, to become champion if you get what I mean. Do you feel like that win, not irrelevant, but it’s not highly regarded the same as if you was to have gone and beat a world champion? How do you feel about that fight with Jean Pascal?”

Froch responded to Joshua’s claim by suggesting that he was being made to wait by Joe Calzaghe at the time. He also hinted that any suggestions that he was dodging a fight with Calzaghe was “b*******”.

He added: “Did I feel like world champion? I had the green and the gold belt. When I woke up and saw the belt at the bottom of my bed in the morning, I felt like a world champion. I know what he means. I didn’t beat the champion to become the champion. That’s probably why he conveniently didn’t ask about the IBF title.”

Joshua’s identity was not revealed straightaway, with Froch waiting until the end of the podcast to reveal the name of the caller. He then assured that the pair have since overcome their recent differences.

He said: “I think they all know. Anthony Joshua was the first question. He sent me a voicemail. I think he’s alright. I think we’re seeing eye-to-eye. We’ve had a good exchange of messages. For all you fanboys out there that are upset that we’ve played the voicenote ‘oh you shouldn’t be releasing private messages’. Trust me, me and Anthony Joshua are okay.

“We’re both fighters. We’ve both shared the ring and we’ve shared same trainer and environment. He’s got respect for me, I’ve got a lot of respect for him and I wish him all the best. He actually said he’d be coming on the channel in the near future. He’s paying me lip service.”

DMs in fiery feud ‘It’s bang out of line’ – Tony Bellew surprisingly criticises Carl Froch after leaking Anthony Joshua 

Tony Bellew is surprised by Carl Froch’s decision to leak fiery DMs with Anthony Joshua.

Carl Froch and Joshua have been embroiled in a fiery feud since ‘The Cobra’ criticised AJ’s heavyweight career only in recent appearances on his YouTube channel.

The Nottingham native then leaked himself and Joshua’s private messages, which showed the heavyweight angrily hitting back at Froch after calling him a ‘p***k’ in an interview.

But mutual friend of the pair Bellew insists the former world champion crossed the line by leaking their messages behind-closed-doors.

“I think that’s wrong. Private DMs are exactly what it’s supposed to be. Private DMs. So I find that a little bit alarming,” he told Best Online Poker Sites.

“Very unlike Carl, so I was surprised to be fair, but it is what it is. I think one lad’s been basically silenced and the other one doesn’t really respond to anybody.

“I think Joshua just took it personally and Carl’s just having a dig at everything and anything at the moment.

“Ultimately, I do think it’s wrong to leak personal DMs. I think that’s bang out of line.”

Bellew insisted despite the promise of a physical altercation, nothing will happen.

He continued: “No one’s going to punch you over a bit of Twitter beef but you can’t disrespect people and say ‘listen, let’s meet up and straighten this out’, because that’s only going to go one way and no one wants to see that.

“Carl Froch is an absolute legend. He’s a hall of famer. I know personally that Joshua rates him massively as a fighter, he’s got all the respect in the world for him.

“But he just doesn’t like the things he’s saying about him and to be fair it’s not really the full truth that he’s saying.

“It’s a little bit wrong when you’re leaking personal DMs.”

Froch had then lashed out at the heavy-handed Briton, insisting that his anger was ’embarrassing’.

The pair were previously stablemates under promoter Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing.

But relations have turned sour, and it is clear that the pair no longer see eye-to-eye.

Tensions could well rise again if Froch chooses to speak out against Joshua regarding his upcoming September 21 showdown with Daniel Dubois.

The former Olympic gold medallist has chance to become a three-time heavyweight world champion, and could set up a 2025 showdown with Tyson Fury.
