Carl Froch explains what happens when drunk people square up to him in pubs

Boxing legend Carl Froch has revealed what happens when drunk people square up to him in bars. The former super-middleweight world champion says he has "ironed a few ****heads out" over the years.

The Nottingham-born fighter says he is now more used to fans coming up and asking for selfies. But earlier in his career, drinkers had taken it too far, and tried their luck in a fight when he'd been on the jars.

The story has come to light after Froch discussed it in his 2021 podcast Froch on Fighting. According to Talksport, he said: "Some people are stupid and they’re just bullies and they think, ‘If I can knock out a pro boxer or beat a pro boxer, it gives me a bit of street cred.’
