Carl Froch is now back on good terms with Anthony Joshua, but not after one final comical dig.
Froch and Joshua had been going back and forth in an intense feud, which was ignited after the Nottingham native criticised the heavyweight's resume.

Things got out of hand behind-closed-doors with the pair trading insults in private messages, which Froch proceeded to leak on his YouTube channel.
But in a new video, 'The Cobra' surprisingly began his Q&A with a question that came in from Joshua who took a real dig at the former world champion.
AJ said: "So you didn’t beat a champion. What do you feel about that? Do you feel that you was regarded a champion because you fought for a vacant one?
“You didn’t beat a champion, to become champion if you get what I mean.

"Do you feel like that win, not irrelevant, but it’s not highly regarded the same as if you was to have gone and beat a world champion? How do you feel about that fight with Jean Pascal?”
Despite the dig, Froch answered the question willingly, insisting it was all on rival Joe Calzaghe as to why he had to wait.
The retired star then confirmed the pair had settled their differences and still have huge 'respect' for one another.
He added: “I think they all know. Anthony Joshua was the first question. He sent me a voicemail. I think he’s alright.

"I think we’re seeing eye-to-eye. We’ve had a good exchange of messages.
"For all you fanboys out there that are upset that we’ve played the voicenote ‘oh you shouldn’t be releasing private messages’. Trust me, me and Anthony Joshua are okay.
