I used to have breakfast with AJ.. I was amazed at what he ordered
ANTHONY JOSHUA left Carl Froch baffled by the size of his incredible breakfast.
The pair of British boxers may not see eye to eye these days with the Cobra brutally honest in his public comments on AJ’s career.
But they used to be close friends and regularly hung out away from the ring together.
And on multiple occasions at a budget hotel, Froch could not believe what Joshua ordered to kick-start his day.
The former world champ turn poker star, 46, said: “I used to have breakfast with him every morning at the Premier Inn.
“He used to have a 12-egg omelette and I sat there in amazement.
“How can you eat 12 eggs?!”
AJ famously declared he was on the Rocky Marciano diet before his last fight and has been known to previously put away 5,000 calories a day in his training camp.
Joshua, 33, returns to the ring on August 12 to face old rival Dillian Whyte at the O2 Arena.
Froch believes AJ’s career would be in tatters if he loses to the Body Snatcher to make it three defeats in his last four fights.

The Watford man went down against Oleksandr Usyk twice before returning to winning ways to get past Jermaine Franklin.
However, Froch would rather see Whyte come out on top in the British blockbuster in London – especially after Joshua angrily messaged him to moan.
The super-middleweight legend added to the Daily Star: “He’s a nice kid, but in my opinion he has overachieved.
“He has been over-accelerated to world title stardom and to be fair to him, he has faced all his challenges but he lost to Andy Ruiz and lost to Usyk and he got the hump.
“It annoyed him, as it should do, but don’t get annoyed with everyone else and start blaming everyone.
“Own it, take it on the chin and come back, don’t speak and let your fists do the talking. Let your success be your noise and then bury everyone with your smile.
“If Whyte turns up in better shape than AJ, then I want Whyte to win. I want the better man to win.”
