Ex-world champion Carl Froch has claimed YouTube star Jake Paul backed out of a fight between the pair after a public spat between the pair.
Paul, 5-1 as a professional boxer, has often claimed that he would be willing to face Froch in a showdown if the former fighter were willing to do a tune-up fight in America to reignite his public profile. But now the ex-unified super middleweight champion has claimed that his rival scrapped the fight altogether.
Froch has flirted with the idea of a ring return at the age of 45, almost a decade after his famous rematch with George Groves that packed out Wembley Stadium. But he would only do it for a crossover exhibition, admitting that he would struggle with even a light-heavyweight contender like Callum Smith.
