Former world champion slams rival for ‘disgracing’ boxing just days after public row with ‘pathetic’ Anthony Joshua
Carl Froch has reignited his brutal war of words with Amir Khan after accusing his British boxing rival of ‘disgracing’ the sport following his two-year drugs ban.
Just days on from issuing another jab in his public feud with Anthony Joshua, having been labelled a ‘p***k’ by the two-time heavyweight champion, Froch took his latest dig at Khan in an explosive X-rated video posted on social media.
Khan had savaged Froch as a ‘proper hater’ in a recent interview and the Nottingham native hit back at his old foe by referencing his suspension after he tested positive for a banned substance following his defeat by Kell Brook in February 2022.
UK Anti-Doping said Khan, now 37, returned the positive result for the anabolic agent ostarine. He was subsequently banned from all sports but denied any wrongdoing.
Khan, who has since been tipped to return to boxing on a Misfits card, was quizzed on Froch’s row with Joshua and accused him of attacking others out of jealousy.

Hitting back, however, Froch said: ‘I thought it was stupid. I think his IQ is so low he could parachute out the bottom of a snake’s a***.
‘Listen, I’m not the one coming out of retirement to fight for more dough and drugs cheating. You popped performance enhancing drugs. Was it ostarine?
‘You fought Kell Brook. You must have known in sparring and in training you can’t hold a shot. Round one, he hit you with a f*****g jab and turned your legs to Bambi on ice. You didn’t do that for fun. You came back because you needed the dough.
‘You disgraced yourself and you disgraced the sport. Even on drugs you couldn’t stand up and walk straight. It’s pathetic.’
Froch, now engaged in verbal jousting on two fronts with both Khan and Joshua in his sights, revealed the details of a ruthless voice note sent to him by the latter.
The former world champion has been locked in an ongoing back-and-forth with his fellow Brit which looked to boil over after he branded Joshua ‘pathetic’.

He revealed numerous messages from what is presented as a WhatsApp spat between the two
His words were in response to what Froch claims was a ‘barrage of abuse’ he received on WhatsApp from Joshua in a spat that spilled over into the public eye.
The latest phase of their argument came after Froch urged ‘plastic gangster’ Joshua to meet him face-to-face and look to settle their differences ‘like men’.
Their spat spiralled out of control in June when Froch posted screenshots of messages from Joshua and branded his rival ’embarrassing’.
‘I’ve shared 10 per cent of the messages. I mean, it’s schoolboy stuff,’ Froch told BestOnlinePokerSites. ‘I think he’ll be cringing to himself at that.
‘I’ve shared it because, why should I be abused by somebody in this position?’
