By Liam Santiago: Amir Khan told the Express and Star that he believes that World Boxing Council super middleweight champion, Carl Froch has now proved he is jealous of the Bolton man. Khan also stated that he is not the only British fighter to fall as a victim to Froch’s insults. He claimed that David Haye, Hatton, Calzaghe and himself all receive the criticism.

Froch, when working as a pundit for ITV, was asked what he thought about Khan’s chances of a comeback after his double quick demolition by Breidis Prescott. Froch stated that it would be a long road back and questioned weather he had what it takes to comeback from such a defeat. Froch also said his fight with Kotelnik was quite boring, which angered Khan.

Khan said, ”I think it’s childish, talking about another fighter, and I think that he has shown that he is just jealous. He is making himself look silly and it’s always the same thing – me, Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton, even David Haye get the treatment from him. It makes you think, what don’t you just support people Carl? We are both different weights, would never meet in the ring, so what’s his problem? Maybe that is the way it is when someone’s career is not going the way they want it to go. He’s 32, I am 23, and I am already doing the things that he has done. Maybe it’s just jealousy, and I am just going to ignore him”.

Froch recently stated in an interview that he is not the jealous type and would much rather settle for the ordinary life in Nottingham.

Hopefully Amir Khan will now fight his next challenger, Marcos Maidana in a fight he can hopefully be victorious.
