For years WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch has fired verbal jabs at Joe Calzaghe. He is not used to Calzaghe firing back in his direction, unprovoked. On Tuesday Calzaghe ripped Froch by calling him a "spoilt little bitch" who always complains about everything. The two have fought through the press for years but a fight between the two of them never had a chance to take place. Calzaghe retired over a year ago.
Froch was almost at a loss for words when he was asked to comment on Calzaghe's latest rant. He told Calzaghe to get in line if he plans to return for a fight between the two of them.
"I think Joe's a bit of a strange guy if I'm honest," Froch said to livefight.com. "I don't mean that nastily, but I really think he is a grump. Like a Welsh Victor Meldrew. I called him out for two years, closed in on him until he had to vacate or fight me - and we all know which option he took so we'll just leave it at that."
"If you want to come back and fight me, then get in line. If not, take your leotard and bore off. One minute he gives me credit for my career, then three months later comes out with this. He's obviously just after a bit of publicity after his impression of rigor mortis on Strictly Embarrassing."
