All I wanted to do was train, work hard, do what [trainer] Rob McCacken told me to do, and win the fight. I\u2019ve got to win the fight. That\u2019s the main thing, win the fight. Forget selling it, forget being a public figure. Now I\u2019m not boxing. I do look back and think, \u2018oh, if I&#8217;d have been how I am now, a little bit more confident, a little bit more leery and more out there, maybe that would have been better for me.\u2019 Imagine I got more on it. But I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d have been the same fighter. Because I was fighting inside, and that was me in the ring. Outside the ring and in the ring, yeah. And if all of a sudden, I&#8217;d be this flamboyant, out-there character, more extrovert, more in your face and more outspoken, maybe that would have affected my performance. Everything I was in the ring was raw and true. And you&#8217;ve got to be true in boxing, and the training and that. So it would have been hard for me to try and do what I\u2019m doing now. And I\u2019m not saying on my channel now, the best channel in the business, Froch on Fighting, I\u2019m not saying that it\u2019s not me, because it is. But it&#8217;s self-awareness. It&#8217;s me knowing who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cLike, when I give [Joe] Calzaghe a bit of stick, that was all Mick Hennessy saying \u2018say this&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,6102,10078,21662,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-335153","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-boxing-news","10":"tag-boxingscene","11":"tag-carl-froch","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
