Froch still firing shots at ‘fat’ Calzaghe

The verbal sparring between WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch and retired former super middleweight and light heavyweight champion Joe Calzaghe has been going on for some time and it does not look like it will be ending any time soon as Carl Froch fired off another jab at his his Welsh nemesis.

Froch, who is preparing for his second round Super 6 bout with Mikkel Kessler, had time to tell The Guardian,

“He took the easy option, Calzaghe now says he’s going to give Kessler tips on how to beat me. It’s sad. He’s out the circle and looking in, thinking, ‘I’m not part of this any more.’ It didn’t work out with his girlfriend and he did that dancing show where he offered up his impression of rigor mortis. It was embarrassing. Calzaghe is desperate for good publicity and that’s why he wants some new profile on the back of me. It’s cringeworthy. Even if he wanted to come out of retirement he’s too old and fat now.”

But Froch will not be distracted and his mind is full on the task at hand, beating Kessler,

“This is his last chance so I’m getting the last burst of the very best Kessler. I’m fighting him in his backyard and most people regard me as the underdog. I relish that. He’ll come hard for five or six rounds and have a real go. I’ll have a go right back. The fight can’t come soon enough for me.”
