Carl Froch has not fought in 11 years, but could return on KSI’s Misfits card after being confronted by a rising star.
Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch retired from boxing after his second win over George Groves in 2014.
The legendary British boxer left behind a record of 33-2, with only one loss going unavenged, which came against Andre Ward in 2011.
The former super-middleweight world champion remains involved in boxing from the comfort of his own home, commenting on the goings on in the sport for his YouTube channel.
The Hall of Famer has called out Jake Paul before, but it seems there is another fighter now well and truly on his radar.
Darren Till screamed Carl Froch’s name as ‘The Cobra’ hurried out of Misfits venue
Misfits 22 just concluded, and the card was one of the biggest ever for KSI’s promotional outfit.
From ‘the next Floyd Mayweather’ J’Hon Ingram‘s KO win, to Joey Essex’s slugfest against Numeiro, all the way to Salt Papi’s upset loss to Tony Ferguson, the card had it all.
The main event didn’t fail to deliver either, as the first round saw Darren ‘The Gorilla’ Till struggle to figure out Luke Rockhold, who seemed like a game opponent until a heavy blow at the end of the round sent him to the canvas.
Somehow Rockhold regained composure, and made it into the next round, though in the round after that, he was flattened, just as Till had promised, and was left crumpled on the canvas.
As soon as he had won, Till scrambled to find Froch, who was ringside for his fight.
Moments later, Till called Froch out on the mic, ordering him to get in the ring and face him.
But the Nottingham fighter was nowhere to be seen, until a camera showed him walking out of the venue, and away from Till.
Though Froch has rejected a fight with Till before, it seems after Misfits 22, a bout between the two could well be next. Till suggested he could fight Froch as early as December.
Darren Till could face a different ‘Cobra’ instead
If the Froch fight doesn’t happen, Till could end up facing another ‘Cobra’.
Kickboxer-turned-internet sensation Andrew Tate has reportedly expressed some interest in fighting on Misfits, and could well end up facing Till in a huge headlining event.
Tate has kickboxing experience, but has never stepped into the boxing ring.
Till hinted that he had spoken to Tate and that the pair had agreed to fight, though this may well have been a joke as Mams Taylor, the head of Misfits, seemed unaware of any such conversation.
