CARL FROCH is determined to end his long-running feud with Anthony Joshua face-to-face.
The two used to be friends when they trained together early in AJ’s career.
However, they split after Joshua split from his long-time coach, Rob McCracken.
The rivalry flared up again last month when AJ labelled Froch a “p***k” during an interview.
Former boxer Froch then leaked a series of alleged WhatsApp messages from his former friend.
But now the 47-year-old has gone a step further and called for a face-to-face confrontation.
They told BestOnlinePokerSites“I shared 10 per cent of the messages.
“I mean, it’s a schoolboy thing. It’s like plastic bullies. It’s really pathetic, it’s childish and it’s a bit ridiculous.
“I think he’d be ashamed of himself over that.
“I shared it because why should I be insulted and called that name by someone in that position?

“I have covered up 90 per cent of what he has said.
“He messaged me again at night, and deleted four messages.”
Froch added: “I have been abused a lot, but I don’t mind meeting them and dealing with them like men.
“Because if you say little things behind my back and call me names.
“And then deleting things, and then when I want to call you to talk to you in person you don’t pick up your phone.
“Then what should I do? I will introduce you to your true identity.”
Froch enjoyed a stellar boxing career, winning 33 of his 35 bouts and holding the WBC, IBF and WBA world titles at super-middleweight.
