Carl Froch has lashed out at Anthony Joshua's darkness retreat – because the heavyweight ruined it by taking his phone along.<\/p>\n
The two-time former world champion paid \u00a32,000 to spend four days in total darkness in a remote cabin back in October ahead of a potential ring return in December. The 34-year-old said the dark was where 'lions are made' but was recorded at the location by a pal.<\/p>\n
In a video of the trip, Joshua asked: "Why did I put myself in this situation?" Then added: "BUT! This is where lions are made, know what I'm saying.<\/p>\n

"This is where lions are made. Too many people are attached, they don't wanna detach themselves. What I'm trying to do is showcase to myself that there's actually not much I need. I just need myself."<\/p>\n
Former super-middleweight Froch, who beat George Groves in-front of a sold-out Wembley Stadium in his final fight, hasn't held back in a chat with Grosvenor Casino.<\/p>\n
He began: "If someone needs time by themself and wants to spend four days alone in the dark, go away and do it because as you become more spiritual.<\/p>\n

"I'm becoming more spiritual and becoming more connected with my own subconscious and with nature – I think it's brilliant to go and spend some time on your own.<\/p>\n
"But don't tell me you're serious about spending that time alone and having a deeper connection to his thoughts when he\u2019s taking his phone with him, so I think that's a load of b*******.\u201d<\/p>\n
Froch also said that AJ, 29-3, shouldn't moan about pressure from fans because of the responsibility that comes with being a leading boxer.<\/p>\n

He added: "With great power comes great responsibility. He was a world champion and people are paying him their hard earned money and making him very rich.<\/p>\n
"Boxing is the entertainment business and AJ is obligated to turn up and put on a performance. Rafa Nadal does it every time he's on centre court. Novak Djokovic performs every time under immense pressure, so don't b**** and moan to me that the fans – who have made you a multi millionaire – are putting pressure on you.<\/p>\n
"That's part and parcel of being a professional heavyweight boxer. If you can't stand the heat get out the f****g kitchen. Stop b****ing about it."<\/p>\n
