Former world champion Carl Froch has told Anthony Joshua to stop "b****ing" about the fans who have made him a multi-millionaire.
Froch slammed two-time heavyweight world champ Joshua for complaining that the fans were putting pressure on him when he's in the ring. Joshua had produced an outburst following defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last year and on the pressure of trying to become a three-time heavyweight champion, Joshua said "it's too much" and that "maybe I should stop if I can't deal with it".
Speaking to Grosvenor Sports, Froch said: “With great power comes great responsibility. He was a world champion and people are paying him their hard earned money and making him very rich.

"Boxing is the entertainment business and AJ is obligated to turn up and put on a performance. Rafa Nadal does it every time he's on centre court.
"Novak Djokovic performs every time under immense pressure, so don't b**** and moan to me that the fans – who have made you a multi millionaire – are putting pressure on you.
"That's part and parcel of being a professional heavyweight boxer. If you can't stand the heat get out the f****g kitchen. Stop b****ing about it.”

Joshua will return to the squared circle before Christmas when he takes on Otto Wallin in Saudi Arabia as part of a stacked card that also features Deontay Wilder. If Joshua and Wilder both win, they could fight each other in 2024.
However, beating Wallin is no easy feat, with the Swede only having one blemish on his professional record – a points loss to Tyson Fury in 2019. There were also rumours Fury could be on the card, but he reportedly pulled out following his bout with Francis Ngannou last month.
