“I think he’ll be cringing to himself at that.
“I’ve shared it because why should I be abused by somebody in this position and be called that name?
“I’ve kept 90 per cent of what he’s said away.
“He’s messaged me again, overnight, and deleted four of the messages.”

Following these new messages, Froch has challenged Joshua to meet him face-to-face to settle the fued.
“I’ve had a barrage of abuse directed to me, but I don’t mind meeting up and dealing with it like men,” Froch said.
“Because if you’re going to do little backstab jibes and send me messages abusing me.
“And then deleting stuff, and then you don’t pick your phone up when I try to give you a call to have a conversation with you man to man.
“Then what am I going to do? I’m going to expose you for what you are.”
Froch was also asked about a fantasy fight between AJ and Frank Bruno.
He replied: “The Frank Bruno that fought Lennox Lewis in Cardiff back in the 90s – that Frank Bruno beats Anthony Joshua.
“I’m sorry but he just does.
“It’s just all about timing and you can’t hold that against Anthony Joshua.
“I know they call it heavyweight, but it’s very thin now. The landscape of heavyweight boxing. It’s not what it used to be.
“I think if Anthony Joshua loses to Dubois, it could be the last we see of him.”
Froch concluded: “I’ve always said he’s a bit mentally fragile since losing to Ruiz.
“He got his soul taken away from him didn’t he, let’s be honest. He quit, didn’t he? It goes down as a technical knockout.

“That’s never happened to the Cobra, by the way, which I did tell him.
“The Cobra doesn’t get knocked out. But he quit on his feet.”
