Carl Froch has settled his dispute with Andre Ward having held a grudge with the American following their famous 2011 clash.Froch and Ward fought 14 years ago and have been embroiled in a verbal back-and-forth ever since.Even when Ward retired as pound-for-pound king in 2017, Froch was still discrediting his fighting styleGetty‘The Cobra’ was outclassed by his American nemesis when they laced up the gloves for the Super Six tournament final in Atlantic City.Ward, the reigning WBA super middleweight title champion, was simply too quick for Froch and claimed his WBC belt in a dazzling performance.Froch made it very clear that he disagreed with the result at the time, and that subsequently translated into total contempt for Ward.Over a lengthy period since that famous night, they have kept their rivalry alive by continuing to taunt each other online.Froch and Ward squash their feud in live interviewBut now, the pair have reunited and seem to be ready to bury the hatchet.The former five-time world champion joined Froch on his YouTube channel, Froch on Fighting, where the Briton finally waved the white flag.He said: “Time for me to chuck a quick apology in, I’ve got to be true to myself.“As I’ve got a bit older, I’m 48 years old, and as you get older, you get a bit wiser.“My best friend put a bible into my hands a couple of years ago, and I’ve started to become a little bit more mature and a little more understanding and civil as well. “Even though my channel’s a bit out there and I like to get my point across, and the delivery’s a bit harsh, as Eddie Hearn said to me yesterday…Froch on FightingWard and Froch reunited to revisit their 2011 clash together, 14 years on[/caption]“You beat me fair and square in a fight. It wasn’t close. Two of the judges had it 115-113. Were they drunk? “And that made it worse for me because one round, I could have got a draw. I’d rather it was 120-108!“I’m man enough to admit I got beat by the better man, absolute legend, Hall of Famer.“So, apologies. I’m sorry for chatting s***.”Ward was then more than happy to let bygones be bygones, and gave Froch credit for giving him a competitive evening in the ring.He added: “It wasn’t easy, no matter how it looked. “I never felt, ‘I’ve got this in the bag.’ So for all 12 rounds, I knew I had to keep stepping on the gas.”Froch also took the opportunity to thank Ward’s performance for challenging him to be sharper in the final five fights of his career.While the verbal jabs were mainly made by Froch, Ward also expressed disdain for his former foe over the years.The pair are now both retired from the sport and the Nottingham native is clearly keen to put things behind him, just as he has with most famous foe George Groves.
