Carl Froch says he’d KO Jake and Logan Paul on same night – and fight would fill Wembley
Carl Froch thinks he can fill Wembley stadium again by taking on BOTH Jake and Logan Paul on the same night.
Back in May 2014, ‘The Cobra’ knocked out arch rival George Groves at the famous venue, and his relentless boast about winning in front of 80,000 people has since become an internet meme. But after verbally feuding with the younger Paul sibling in the build-up to his defeat to Tommy Fury on Sunday, the former world champion has vowed to fill it again.
The YouTuber riled Froch this month by labelling him “jealous”, and offering him a bout after he took on Fury. The pundit responded by posting a video mocking his display against Fury Jnr, calling him “terrible” after he lost a split decision.

“Jake Paul and Logan Paul on the same night would be interesting. I’d fight them both on the same night and they can tag each other,” he boasted, when speaking to BonusCodeBets. “Or maybe get Logan on the undercard as we’ve not seen him for a while as a nice little warm up for me, a steady few rounds until I decide to knock him el sparko. And then I can fight his brother Jake on top of the bill as the main event and make mincemeat of him, what a night that would be.”
Froch then continued to tear into his new rival, arguing he hasn’t earned the right to call himself a professional boxer: “He’s a white collar fighter,” he added. “Jake Paul is a beginner, a white collar type fighter. It was ok, it was competitive at times. Jake landed a few shots but it was like watching a white collar boxing match. It wasn’t the best.”
Mind you, the 45-year-old wasn’t exactly full of praise for Fury either, who retained his own unbeaten record. He’s previously claimed he wants to be a world champion, a notion swiftly dismissed by Froch: “I’m not giving Tommy any stick at all because he’s young and learning but will Tommy ever become a world champion? Probably not. I don’t think he’s good enough.”

Having not fought for nine years, most fans would have given up hope of seeing the man who finished with a 32-2 career record in the squared circle again. And whilst the idea of getting Amir Khan out of retirement has been mooted, it appears that only Paul, 26, will tempt him into a return.
“There are no retired professionals I’d come out of retirement for,” he continued. “I have a lot of respect for fighters whether I like them or not. Amir Khan’s name came into the mix a little bit, but he’s too small for me anyway, he can’t hold a jab now, we saw what happened with Kell Brook when he hit him with a jab – his legs turned to Bambi.

“The only fight that ticks the box is Jake Paul. Even though he lost to Tommy it was at times a competitive fight. I’m nine years retired, so who knows what would happen, I’ve not been in the boxing ring since in any capacity. But I’d make mincemeat of him, it’d be an easy fight.”
Perhaps unaware of the irony, the Nottingham man also quipped “I’d think we’d fill Wembley. Minimum 80,000.” Regardless, a clash is unlikely to happen anytime soon, with Paul, 26, set to activate his rematch clause with Fury.
