# Carl Froch Names The Boxer He’d Want With Him In A Street Fight

Carl Froch has named who his dream sidekick in a street fight would be, and it’s a man he shared the ring with twice during his career.

As well as his glittering professional career that saw him [inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/carl-froch-to-be-inducted-into-boxing-hall-of-fame/), Froch has also become known for his [infamous escapades “on the cobbles,”](https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1385419/carl-froch-drunk-people-fight-pubs/) where he has put his in ring attributes to use against those unfortunate enough to cross him without gloves on.

And, speaking on his YouTube channel [Froch On Fighting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoHCeFzaJx0&t=609s), he revealed old rival Mikkel Kessler is the man he’d want beside him if he was ever caught outnumbered – though he couldn’t resist having a pop at Andre Ward when giving his answer.

> “Mikkel Kessler jumps to mind, he keeps himself fit and strong, he’s still in shape.
>
> So who would I want as my wing man in a street fight? Probably Mikkel Kessler. Although Andre Ward was very good with his head – look how he good he was against Kessler, cutting him to bits. And the head can be quite useful in a street fight.
>
> So maybe Andre Ward’s wrestling skills and head butting would make him a good wing man on the street. Nah, I’m taking the p\*\*\* now.
>
> Mikkel Kessler would be the ultimate wingman in a straightener on the cobbles.”

Kessler handed Froch the first defeat of his career back in 2010, though the [Nottingham man got his revenge three years later](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/may/26/carl-froch-mikkel-kessler-world-title-fight).

Ward was the only other man to get the better of Froch during his time as a professional – though it’s obvious ‘The Cobra’ doesn’t have any hard feelings over it now!
