Carl Froch doubts Jake Paul is "stupid" enough to accept fight after call-out

Carl Froch believes Jake Paul isn't stupid enough to accept his recent fight call-out.

Paul is currently plying his trade in the boxing ring and is set to make his sixth professional appearance against Hasim Rahman Jr on August 6. The YouTube star has made an enemy of several people in both boxing and UFC with the likes of Tony Bellew and Conor McGregor trading verbal barbs with the social media star.

Paul was called out by former world champion Froch last week who has been highly critical of the early stages of the YouTuber's career so far. However Froch has responded after a tweet asked if the pair would really fight, writing: "He’s not that stupid!" Froch has not fought since 2014 when he fought in the infamous rematch with George Groves in front of 80,000 people at Wembley.
