In that video, Froch hinted at his presence in CoinPoker’s cash games, as well as some freerolls allowing players to knock him out at the poker table, which no one did in the boxing ring.

In addition to the freerolls, poker enthusiasts can also see Froch’s poker session live for free on CoinPoker’s official YouTube channel.
From Being a Boxing Pro to Playing Poker
Carl Froch, also known as the “Cobra” in the boxing ring, has a formidable career in boxing, making him one of the best middleweight boxers of all time.
He holds several boxing titles as well as 4 middleweight World Championship. Out of 35 career fights, Froch has won 33, and 24 fights by knockouts.
