Former world champion boxer Carl Froch disgusted by 'clown' YouTuber Jake Paul

Boxer Carl Froch has branded a famous Youtuber a 'clown' and spoke of his disgust at the social media star being considered a professional fighter. Nottingham-born Froch appeared on his one-time rival George Groves' podcast and was responding to his old opponent putting YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on a list of professionals.

The former world champion was asked to speak about when YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul faced Ben Askren, Nate Robinson and Anderson Silva. Instead Froch, 45, vented about what he saw as Paul's lack of boxing credentials.

"Jake Paul is a clown, such a f****** idiot. What a ponce. He's not even a fighter," Froch, said.
