Froch: My Words Were Manipulated To Start Khan Issue
By Mark Vester
Super middleweight Carl Froch says there are certain websites out there starting trouble between him and WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan. Froch is claiming the websites have manipulated his quotes in a poor attempt to manufacture a problem with Khan. The manipulated quotes prompted Khan to issue a verbal counter-attack, by claiming Froch was jealous of him. That's not the case says Froch.
"It's quite annoying because I've been picked up on by certain websites recently and have had my words twisted. What I've said has been manipulated to make it look like I've got a problem with Khan, which has promoted a response from him to say I'm jealous. But I've got nothing against him and I'm not jealous at all. I only wish him all the best and hope he continues to be successful in his career," Froch told Gavin Glicksman of Sun Sport.
Froch thinks Khan has had a good career and he respects everything that he's done.
"I think Khan's had a decent career since turning professional. He's been looked after very well but that's what you expect when a fighter comes up from the amateurs to the paid ranks. I wish him all the best and I hope he wins his fights at the top level. I know what he goes through in training and sparring, and what he puts his body through, and I've only got good words for him," Froch said.
