Carl Froch has named his current favourite fighter, and his choice may surprise some in the game.
Since hanging up his gloves, the former middleweight champion has transitioned into a pundit of the sport, often sharing his bold and views on the current boxing scene.
Speaking on the latest episode of his Froch On Fighting show, Froch named the current fighter he likes watching the most and shied away from some of the bigger names in favour of the showmanship of Ben Whittaker.
Whittaker was victorious against Leon Willings this past weekend to remain undefeated, and 'The Cobra' has said he's a big fan.
"I like watching Ben Whittaker, The Surgeon, light heavyweight, unbeaten, he’s now turned professional. He’s just exciting, he reminds me of reminds me of Prince Naseem Hamed, the style, the showboating, the showmanship. I really enjoy watching him fight.
“He’s a prospect, I do think he’ll be able to do things at the world level, he will have to calm the showboating down cause if you’re doing fancy footwork, leaving your chin up in the air, it’s hard to sustain for 12 rounds and eventually, some of these top fighters will get you but he’ll work it out.”
