Jake Paul’s team has officially responded to a fight challenge issued by legendary boxer Carl Froch, who has expressed a desire to step into the ring for the sake of charity following years of back-and-forth banter.
Since venturing into the boxing arena, Jake Paul has garnered attention and criticism from various sources, including fans, analysts, active fighters, and retired champions. Each has scrutinized different aspects of his boxing credentials.
Among these prominent critics, former WBA and IBF super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has been particularly vocal. Froch has frequently questioned the authenticity of Paul’s bouts and has even suggested a unique challenge, offering to fight with one hand tied behind his back.
At 47 years old, Froch has continued to vocalize his challenges to Paul, most recently threatening on his YouTube channel that he could potentially end Paul’s boxing career with “one punch.”
Addressing Carl Froch’s Career-Ending Challenge
In a recent statement, Froch indicated his willingness to fight for charity, contrasting his intentions with those of fighters who seem primarily focused on monetary gain.
Nakisa Bidarian, who is both Jake Paul’s manager and partner, responded to Froch’s threats when speaking with SunSport. He stated, “Sure, Carl, show up with an offer that makes sense—since you’re fighting for charity anyway—and it’s clear you intend to donate 100 percent of your earnings to charity.”
He further elaborated, “Show up with a serious offer for MVP and Jake Paul, who bring in the highest viewership numbers in the sport, and we’d be open to a conversation.”
Froch has persistently pursued a showdown with Jake Paul, even though his name did not appear on Paul’s year-end shortlist of potential opponents. This list included notable figures such as Conor McGregor, KSI, Tommy Fury, Ryan Garcia, and Floyd Mayweather.
