Could Carl Froch and Tony Bellew, good friends and former sparring partners, be about to face each other in an exhibition bout?
For good chunks of their illustrious careers, Bellew and Froch were huge names who both took part in memorable encounters with the pair also tasting world title glory at the highest level.
Bellew, who even boxed on Froch’s undercard, walked away from the sport in 2018 but he has teased a comeback in recent months.
Froch went through boxing’s exit door four years earlier after defeating George Groves at Wembley, but he’s made it clear he’d return against several YouTubers including Jake Paul.
Catching up recently, Bellew and Froch shared stories about their spars and discussed how good a fight between them would've been. The conversation led Froch to suggest a potential meeting in the ring.
“It would be a barnstormer. Shall we do it as an exhibition?” asked Froch when joined by Bellew on Froch on Fighting.
