      Carl Froch becomes seventh Brit to enter Hall of Fame – thankfully he had sense to resist comeback, says Colin Hart

      by

      CARL FROCH will be the latest British fighter to receive the ultimate American tribute when he is inducted into boxing’s Hall of Fame in Canastota next year.Froch, to his surprise and delight, found out last week he will be going over to the US in June to be feted at the annual three-day festival.

      He will find his name now ranks alongside all the sport’s revered legends — including Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano.
      Nottingham’s former WBC, IBF and WBA world super-middleweight champion is the seventh boxer from our shores to be honoured since the Hall of Fame was inaugurated 32 years ago.
      The others whose talent and distinguished careers have been recognised across the Atlantic are Randy Turpin, Ken Buchanan, Lennox Lewis, Barry McGuigan, Joe Calzaghe and Naseem Hamed.
      Being a Hall of Famer doesn’t seem to be such a big deal in this country — so far Froch’s elevation to elite status has largely been ignored here.

      I can assure everyone that, as far as America’s fighters and their fans are concerned, being in the HOF is the equivalent of getting a knighthood.
      When I congratulated Carl, he said: “I don’t have the words to describe how I feel — I’m so happy and proud.
      “When I turned pro 20 years ago, the thought that one day I would enter the Hall of Fame never entered my head.
      “To know my name will be alongside the greatest fighters of all time is way beyond my wildest dreams.”

      Robert Smith, secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control, said: “I’m thrilled for Carl. He’s been a magnificent ambassador for boxing and for him to be in the Hall of Fame does wonders for British prestige.”
      Froch, who lost just two of his 35 contests — against highly talented Andre Ward in America and Mikkel Kessler in Denmark — had his last fight when he KO’d George Groves in front of an 80,000 Wembley crowd eight years ago.
      He decided to retire when he was at the top to become a respected Sky pundit.
      He had the sense to resist making a comeback when he was offered millions to fight Gennady Golovkin.
      If only every boxer had the wisdom to resist carrying on fighting way past their best.
      Froch is not alone in fearing for the health of those misguided souls who refuse to acknowledge the dangerous path they are treading.
      Carl, like most of us, watched in dismay as Derek Chisora suffered a half-hour hammering from Tyson Fury a couple of weeks ago.
      And he simply cannot understand what makes a 38-year-old family man who earned around £2million that night insist on carrying on.
      Even Fury has pleaded with Chisora to stop.
      Yet Chisora, as he was nursing his wounds, said: “It was fun, I did enjoy it. I’m not retiring yet. I want to go on the road now for more fights.”
      I certainly didn’t find it fun seeing Derek being severely beaten up — in fact only sadists could have enjoyed such a one-sided spectacle.
      As long as he can prove he is 100 per cent fit then the BBBofC are powerless to make him quit — but the promoters could save him from himself by refusing to put him on.
      Froch, 44, strongly believes Derek should never fight again.
      He said: “Unfortunately, so many fighters have known nothing else other than boxing — and even if they are millionaires, they don’t know what to do with the rest of their lives.”

      Fortunately, Carl is not in that situation.
      He’s now an extremely shrewd and successful businessman with a considerable property portfolio — and he also runs a building company. More

      Watch KSI awkwardly laugh as he faces off with NOBODY after Dillon Danis’ no-show at press conference

      by

      But after falling ill, the American elected to stay at home and instead focus on training ahead of what will be his boxing debut.
      After the press conference wrapped up, KSI posed for photos and pretended to square up to an imaginary opponent.
      The YouTube star let out a laugh when being faced with no opponent while using his imagination.
      Danis, 29, did not even attend the media commitment virtually and was slammed by KSI, 29.

      He said: “In terms of Dillon Danis not being here, I think it’s quite disappointing, disrespectful to me and everyone here expecting him to show up.
      “It’s not something I haven’t seen before. I don’t know, maybe it’s my presence, maybe it’s just me in general, I’m so much of a scary guy.
      “But I can understand that — I’m very disciplined, very focused, and if you look at my resume, I don’t lose too many times.
      “I think for Dillon, that’s probably seeping in. Yeah, I know he’s undefeated himself, but I think looking me in the eyes — even when we saw each other in Texas — I could tell it was a facade.

      “He had to pretend that he’s bigger and stronger than he actually is, and it kind of shows not being here how little he really is, how small his mindset really is.
      “He says I’m not a real fighter but I’m here. I’m always ready.
      “And, as someone he says he is a real fighter, he has not made the plane trip to see me, and has not even made the Zoom call to see me, he’s terrified.
      “He’s petrified of me. It’s disappointing.”
      Danis is a 2-0 MMA fighter most commonly known as Conor McGregor’s training partner, but he has not competed in three years.
      Meanwhile, KSI had two comeback fights on the SAME NIGHT in August, beating rapper Swarmz, 26, and boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23.
      And he returns for his sixth bout at Wembley Arena against Danis.
      KSI said: “I believe I’m all he thinks about and I’m in his nightmares — constantly terrorizing him, haunting him — and it’s making him slowly break down.

      “It’s making break down, thinking, ‘Maybe I’m in over my head. When I see KSI in t he ring January 14, am I really to get in there with him?’
      “Is he the guy that’s going to beat me, I don’t think so.”

      But KSI revealed opposing camps are directly in discussions for a massive grudge match next year with venues currently being eyed.
      He told SunSport: “We’re working on negotiations.
      “I don’t want to say the venue but we’re looking at certain venues and yeah, we are talking. 
      “We’re talking now and it’s going to take about a year for the fight to happen.

      “It’s going to take a while to happen but we’re making sure it actually happens.”

      The former opponents turned business partners after later launching hydration drink Prime.
      But there is no love lost for younger brother Jake, 25, who is out to settle the family score.

      The American is 6-0 himself, most recently beating UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in the biggest win of his career.
      Paul has voiced lofty ambitions of winning boxing world titles and even beating Mexican legend Canelo Alvarez, 32.
      But for KSI, his sole aim is to take down his arch nemesis and claimed he will RETIRE once doing so.
      He said: “For me my main goal is Jake Paul and I don’t want to fight Jake Paul instantly because I know once I fight him and beat him then it’s done. 
      “I wouldn’t want to fight anymore because I wouldn’t have any more goals in boxing, I would have achieved what I strived for. ”
      The sworn enemies are primed to put their unbeaten records and reputations on the line in 2023 if they avoid losing in the interim.
      But KSI admitted he cannot bring himself to support Paul winning, even if it means missing out on the chance to break his streak.
      He said: “For me if Jake loses, I’ll fight the person that beats Jake. And then I’d leave it at that. 
      “That’s where I’m at. If Anderson Silva beat Jake, I’d be like, ‘OK, let me fight Anderson Silva.’

      “I think that’s the mindset. I just despise Jake so much that I could just never be in his corner.
      “If Jake does carry on winning, I guess you can say it just hypes up our fight in the end.”

      KSI had not fought since 2019 when he beat Paul’s brother Logan, 27, in their rematch a year after drawing.
      The split-decision verdict has fuelled the feud between KSI and Paul to build towards a proposed blockbuster bout in 2023.
      But KSI could not help but predict Paul beating Fury ahead of the expected rescheduled fight.
      He said: “I think, I hate to say it, I think Jake will win it.
      “I think Tommy hasn’t really been tested – he’s been tested a few times chin-wise and he has been a bit wobbly.
      “And I just think Jake has just dedicated more time to the training compared to Tommy.
      “I think Tommy just does the boxing because it’s the thing to do in his family.
      “But I don’t think he’s as dedicated as someone like Tyson or his other brothers. So I think Jake will win that, as much as I hate to say it.”

      The host responded with a nervous chuckle and replied: “Well, I can tell.”
      While trying to compose himself, Tucker admitted he was “laughing nervously”, before asking the former undisputed world heavyweight champion if he “really felt that way?”
      Tyson was quite clear in his answer as he simply said “yeah”, Carlson then tried again and asked the former boxer how he came to that mindset.
