In one of the most unlikely feuds of 2022, retired athlete Carl Froch and former UFC champion Conor McGregor went head-to-head online.
‘The Cobra’ has held many super-middleweight titles during his career, and beat George Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley. He retired in 2014 with a record of 33 wins and 2 losses and has since been successful as an analyst and expert.
Conor McGregor is known for his huge rise in mixed martial arts, even though he has fought professionally once – a KO loss to Floyd Mayweather.
McGregor, who is rumored to have a rematch with ‘Money’ Mayweather, posted a video on Twitter of him hitting the pad. The point behind the tweet appears to be promoting his products – namely his brand of Right 12 whiskey and McGregor FAST workout gear.
Froch, maybe still reeling with gratuitous attack previous, Give your thoughts:
Can’t punch the skin off the rice cake!

Given the age of skirmishes and weird fights (see Logan Paul vs Mayweather), can we get into a fight here?
It doesn’t seem to be happening. Froch seems to be very happy with his current role, and if McGregor challenges everyone he has to online matches with him, he will fight nearly every night of the year. However, strange things have happened in the sport of boxing.
As of the time of writing, McGregor has yet to respond.
