Carl Froch vs Jake Paul

Froch retired from the sport of boxing at the age of 38 and is now 7 years into his retirement, but the former fighter is still in good shape. 'The Cobra' was well known for his will to fight and fearlessness, which is why he would undoubtedly step through the ropes again if the money was right. A potential matchup against the YouTube star would certainly guarantee a generous payday. Paul, on the other hand, is now looking to present himself as a more respectable boxer and face real competition in the sport. The American has already faced former fighters who were traditionally MMA athletes. He has also faced the likes of Nate Robinson, a former basketball player, and AnEsonGib, a YouTuber. This means it's very unlikely that 'The Problem Child' will get drawn into facing a 45-year-old Carl Froch, but the YouTuber has surprised fans with his antics in the past.
