    Former Disney star Paul is willing to dance with Froch after his Saudi showdown with Tommy Fury, provided the Brit beats UFC legend Anderson Silva.
    And The Cobra is willing to come out of retirement to teach The Problem Child a lesson.
    He said: “If he ends up getting a massive ego and starts to believe his own hype, if he does the job against Tommy Fury tonight, which he’s still got to do, then we’ll look at it.
    “If he’s serious about it, get the contract sent over to me [and] we’ll have a serious look at it and we’ll take it from there.

    “But he’s got a job to do tonight, first, with Tommy Fury.”
    Froch, however, reckons Paul’s insistence that he faces Silva is a sign he’s not keen on the fight.
    The 45-year-old added: “For him to put parameters and that I’ve got to fight Anderson Silva tells me he’s already putting a hurdle in front of it.
    “Jake Paul, it kills him, because I never give him any credit. Maybe I’ll start to give him credit if he does the job against Tommy Fury this evening.

    “But listen, I’ll take that challenge no problem.”
    Froch was less than impressed by Paul’s win over Silva, which has him convinced the fight may be rigged in the YouTuber’s favour.
    He said: “When there’s so much money at stake, we don’t like fights are fixed or what’s going off in the background, but there’s always stuff circulating to say, listen, this is a gravy train that needs to keep going.
    “And he’s making a lot of money, Jake Paul, because he knows what he’s doing.
    “He speaks well, he’s got a social media influence.
    “And I don’t think his story stops here with Tommy Fury.

    Fury, 23, will look to settle his social media score with the Problem Child with a brutal knockout victory in the Diriyah dust-up.
    And doing so will see him avoid embarrassing his boxing family – which has had a whopping NINE members take part in the Sweet Science.

    Boxing is well and truly in the blood of Tommy and his entire family, a fact which has put a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders ahead of his with Paul.
    Dad John and brother Tyson haven’t helped matters by vowing to disown and retire Tommy if he loses to the social media sensation.
    John recently told talkSPORT: “There is no more boxing for him if he loses.
