Carl Froch, one of the greatest British boxers of his generation, has explained why he believes the Earth is flat and not round. The 47-year-old is also convinced that no one has actually ever been to the Moon, accusing NASA of faking the landings.
It is generally accepted that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon when Apollo 11 landed on the lunar surface in 1969. Froch, however, came to a very different conclusion after reviewing “all the footage” and looking at what he saw. claims to be “evidence.”
“The equipment they used to get there was as powerful as a Zedec Spectrum, which probably wasn’t that powerful,” he said. Action network.
“When I was a kid, it was the computer. Now we can’t get there and I think everything we’ve been told about the moon landing [is made up].
“When you look at all the evidence, all the footage and the fact that they lost all the telemetry that tells you they went to the moon, I would say we didn’t go to the moon.
“Man has not walked on the moon. It was a substantial fucking lie.”
Froch added: “Every image we have seen of planet Earth is a CGI image. So when I see the picture of the world as a whole, I will start to believe in heliocentrism – helio is the sun, the centric being at the center.
“I don’t believe a lot of the things that tell me about the heliocentric model, that the sun is in the middle and that we orbit around it, the Massive Bang theory, which is a theory, and the theory of evolution, which we come from apes.”
Froch also discussed his belief that the Earth is flat, not round, having openly admitted to believing in the conspiracy theory in the past.
When asked to explain his views, he explained: “When you talk about a flat Earth, it gets banned and restricted. They don’t like this chat and that’s where things get captivating. Why can’t I say that the heliocentric model is unreliable?
“The speed of featherlight around the Earth takes three seconds. Planet Earth has approximately 24,000 [miles] in circumference, so if you travel at the speed of featherlight, imagine how far you will go in an hour.
Froch initially raised eyebrows in 2019 when he claimed the Earth was flat, adding that he would only believe it was round if he were taken into space to see for himself.
People wondered if the Nottingham resident had simply made a mistake, but during an appearance on The Telegraph he confirmed that his beliefs were earnest. Macklin’s take podcast.
When host Matthew Macklin questioned his views, Froch responded: “That’s the problem. I have tried to prove, and I challenge anyone listening to this, to prove that the Earth is spherical. Prove that it is round. Prove that it is in fact a globe.”

December 23, 2024Simon Jordan says the fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has “no significance whatsoever” following the former’s second straight defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury’s unanimous decision defeat in Riyad meant he joined long-time rival Joshua in suffering back-to-back defeats to unified world heavyweight champion Usyk.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn called for a showdown between the British pair despite both men ending up with defeats and Joshua suffering a bruise Lost in the fifth round to IBF heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois in September.
However, talkSPORT expert Jordan says the long-awaited fight has lost its luster.
Asked if he wanted to see the clash, the former Crystal Palace owner replied: “Not particularly.
“A battle of the underdogs in terms of both bouncing back from defeats.
“They don’t have the prestige they had before.
“I like boxing full of danger and meaning, not bragging rights and finances.
“There is nothing at the end except that everyone cares that Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua get a gigantic payday and someone gets bragging rights.
“Joshua just got kicked out by Daniel Dubois, he lost to Usyk twice.
“Fury was beaten twice by Usyk.
“He didn’t have any significant fight. He chose the path he followed.
“He decided to fight [Francis] Ngannoudecided to fight Derek Chisora.
“None of those fights prepared him for the Usyk fight, he took a whirlwind into it.
“I understand why people want to see it, and I understand that, and I suspect that if it was on, I would probably watch it, but am I advocating watching Fury fight Joshua in a fight that has no meaning other than bragging rights?
“What is this for? These two guys are no longer at the top of boxing.

While waiting for the talks, Tyson Fury sent a nine-word message to Anthony Joshua from Eddie Hearn

December 22, 2024There have been calls for Tyson Fury to now arrange a British clash with Anthony Joshua.
The Gypsy King returned to the UK last night after suffering the second defeat of his career at the hands of heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in Riyad.
After the heartbreaking defeat, 36-year-old Fury insisted he take some time off over Christmas to rest before considering his next move as he did not want to commit to another fight.
However, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn is ready to enter into talks with Fury’s entourage once the two-time world champion recovers from defeat.
Hearn stated: “Obviously Fury will need time to reflect and get over the disappointment of the defeat. The truth is, I felt it was a great performance and he’s still at the top of his game. It’s time for Joshua against Fury.”
Both Fury and Joshua missed out on opportunities to fight for the undisputed heavyweight crown when they held all four belts in 2020 and 2021. Nevertheless, Hearn remains sanguine that it will be a monumental fight if they can make it happen.
He added: “It’s not only the biggest fight in British boxing, but the biggest fight in sport. I believe we can have two fights in 2025. And when the time is right, we will have the appropriate discussions to see if we can achieve this.”
After his second defeat in 37 fights, Fury was asked about his future plans after the fight against Saudi Arabia, in which all three judges scored it 116-112 in favor of Usyk.
He said, “Go home and have a Merry Christmas. I was away for 12 weeks working on this fight. Now I’ll go home and enjoy it.
“Let’s go home now, let’s welcome the up-to-date year, let’s see what it brings. Will you see me fight next year? Perhaps so. You may not. We’ll talk about it next year.”

Lennox Lewis interrupts the interview while Frank Warren fumes over Tyson Fury’s decision
Published

December 22, 2024Lennox Lewis interrupted Frank Warren mid-rant as Tyson Fury’s promoter became furious at the prospect of Oleksandr Usyk winning. The Gypsy King lost 116-112 on all three scorecards, and his attempt at revenge for the only defeat of his career ended with Usyk defending his WBA, WBC and WBO titles.
Both Fury and Warren strongly criticized the decision, which leaves huge doubts about the 36-year-old’s future. Fury said Usyk was given a “Christmas present” by the judges, while his longtime promoter was “stunned”, calling it “crazy”.
Fury said: “I was sure I won that fight again. I thought I won both fights, but on the other hand I came home with two defeats on my account. I will always believe, until the day I die, that I won this fight.
“I will always feel a little tired. Not a little, but actually a lot. When you don’t get a knockout, that’s what happens. You can’t guarantee victory.”
Warren complained about the result in various post-fight interviews, including one with the BBC. He said: “This is crazy. Everyone who sat where I sat, including neutrals [thought Fury won].
“Oscar De La Hoya, like me, was one round away. We both thought he won it, that’s a crazy result! It’s a split decision and I’m very disappointed. I know people will say I’m biased and I probably am, but I temper myself with bias.
Lewis then joined the conversation and Warren asked the heavyweight legend about the verdict. He replied: “I didn’t score, but it was close, definitely close.”
Warren then highlighted the fact that one of the judges didn’t give Fury a single round in the second half of the fight, fuming, “What kind of fight are they watching?”
Apparently not seeing the result the same way, Lewis simply added: “Yes, yes, should have given him a few rounds [in the second half of the fight]”
Lewis then shared his thoughts on the future of Usyk, who may decide to reunite the four heavyweight belts. A rematch with the holder of the second belt, Daniel Dubios, has already been suggested, although everything depends on his fight with Joseph Parker on February 22.
Lewis believes the 37-year-old could hang up the gloves and say: “He can do whatever he wants. He can retire if he wants, he can have a rematch, he can have another fight.
