Carl Froch has had a change of heart when it comes to a former world champion.<\/p>\n
Froch was a multiple-time world champion in his own right, claiming gold at super-middleweight on several occasions after earning victories over the likes of Lucian Bute, Jean Pascal and Arthur Abraham.<\/p>\n
He also defended his world title against fighters such as George Groves and Jermain Taylor<\/a>, but did suffer two defeats during his career, one coming against Mikkel Kessler, and the other to Andre Ward.<\/p>\n The bad blood between Froch and Ward never appeared to go away, with the pair seemingly remaining bitter rivals long after the American earned a unanimous decision victory in the final of the Super Six World Boxing Classic back in 2011<\/a>.<\/p>\n Froch has made comments calling the American boring to watch, but now nearly 15 years on, they have come face-to-face again during an interview on Froch On Fighting<\/a>, and \u2018The Cobra\u2019 decided to apologise to his former opponent on what he has said previously.<\/p>\n \u201cYou beat me fair and square. In a fight that wasn\u2019t close. Two of the judges had it 115-113, were they drunk? That made it worse for me because I thought \u2018one round I could have got a draw.\u2019 I\u2019d rather it be 120-108. I\u2019m man enough to admit I got beat fair and square by the better man, Hall of Famer, absolute legend. So apologies, sorry for chatting s**t. I\u2019d get asked about you and I\u2019d say you were a bit of a boring fighter, not nice to watch, not easy on the eye blah, blah, blah, but all I need to do is say I got beat by the better man. Iron sharpens iron.\u201d<\/p>\n Ward would retire from the sport in 2017 with a perfect 32-0 record<\/a>, but has recently teased a shock return to the ring at the age of 41<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carl Froch has had a change of heart when it comes to a former world champion.
