# Carl Froch Not Holding Back On Boxer For ‘Mismatch’ Callout: “Shut The F\*\*k Up!”

Never one to mince his words, Carl Froch has blasted talk of a potential crossover bout – one that he claims would be a ‘mismatch.’

Froch himself has been linked to various novelty bouts over the years, including against the likes of former UFC star Darren Till and [fellow hall of fame inductee Joe Calzaghe.](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/carl-froch-on-joe-calzaghe-exhibition/)

Another man Froch has been linked to is notorious YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul – and that’s whom he has directed his latest tirade towards.

Following [his win over Nate Diaz](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/boxing/jake-paul-nate-diaz-live-updates-tonight-b2386423.html), Paul was clearly feeling confident and claimed a fight with undisputed super middleweight world champion Saul ‘Canelo Alvarez’ was on his radar.

However, in a video on his YouTube channel [Froch on Fighting](https://youtu.be/ahffnp_YIso?t=448), ‘The Cobra’ scoffed at the thought of such a fight, and implored Paul to ‘shut the f\*\*\* up.’

> “Jake Paul talking about Canelo Alvarez? Shut the f\*\*\* up! Don’t mention Canelo Alvarez in the same breath as you and boxing ever again! It’s a totally different sport – it’s a mismatch.”
>
> “Shut up about it.”

It remains unclear whether Paul genuinely fancies his chances in a fight with the iconic Mexican, or if – perhaps more likely – he is simply making the outlandish claims to boost his already huge profile in the boxing world.

Whatever the case, it’s clearly got people wound up, a feat ‘The Problem Child’ is well versed in at this stage.

Victory over Diaz took his professional boxing record to 7-1, and many were impressed he was able to go the ten round distance at a decent pace against a game opponent.
