Carl Froch Joins CoinPoker as New Ambassador

Online poker site CoinPoker has added to its roster of star-studded ambassadors, signing British former professional boxer and four-time world champion Carl Froch.

Former professional boxer Carl Froch has joined CoinPoker as their latest ambassador.

The crypto based online poker site is available to players worldwide and has been making several moves into the sporting arena throughout 2024, having become the new regional sponsor of the Argentina national football team last month.

Other notable ambassadors include poker personality Tony G, who has a background in sponsoring the basketball and rowing federations in Lithuania, and former Austrian footballer Mario Mosböck.

Welcome to the team Carl, good luck at the tables! Players can look forward to upcoming #poker tournament freerolls with a bounty for knocking out Carl - something that was never done in boxing!

Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch holds multiple super-middleweight world championships, including WBC, IBF and WBA titles, winning 33 of his 35 career fights, 24 by knockout.

He was rated Fighter of the Year in 2012 by BoxRec, the best British boxer by the BBC in 2013, and Sportsman of the Year by GQ magazine the same year.

Retiring in 2014 after defeating George Groves in front of a record breaking Wembley crowd, Froch was awarded an MBE for his services to sport in 2015 and then inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2023.

Turning 47 last month, Froch still has a love for boxing and has worked as an analyst and commentator for Sky Sports, with close to a million followers today across his X (@Carl_Froch), YouTube (Froch on Fighting) and Instagram (@carlcobrafroch).

He can often be seen commenting on the latest goings on with the likes of Tyson Fury, Conor McGregor, Jake Paul, and this week interviewed Dorian Yates on his YouTube channel.

Outside of the ring Carl Froch is also an avid poker fan, as are several top boxing names such as Floyd Mayweather Jr, Manny Pacquiao, Amir Khan, Leron Washington, David Haye, and Audley Harrison, many of whom described how poker helped them improve their boxing and vice versa, given the mental and psychological dynamics of both.

Carl once replied to a fan that poker is ‘probably harder mentally as you have to concentrate for hours, although you definitely need good mental strength to be a top fighter.’

As far back as 2012 Carl represented 888 Poker, and in 2015 made appearances in televised cash games at the famous Dusk Till Dawn poker club in Nottingham, England.

He also became an ambassador for PartyPoker that year, playing in their Grand Prix live tournament events, the Caribbean Poker Party alongside English poker pro Simon ‘Aces’ Trumper, and online tournaments with bantamweight world champion Stuart Hall.

In a video posted to the CoinPoker YouTube channel and Carl’s socials, he announced:

‘Hello everyone, Carl ‘The Cobra Froch here, and I’m excited to share some really big news with you all - I’ve joined CoinPoker as their new ambassador. As you know I’m a keen poker player and I believe there’s no better place to play - they offer a generous welcome bonus, it’s fast, secure and a revolutionary blockchain technology based online poker platform.

You can join me on CoinPoker today and find me at the tables under my nickname CobraFroch - simply use the code FROCH when you create your account. Stay tuned because this is only the beginning, I will be announcing more surprises in the coming days.’

As well as being able to take on Carl on the virtual felt in cash games, CoinPoker will be running special new tournaments including monthly ‘Froch on Fighting freerolls’ with no cost to enter and an extra cash bounty for anyone that can knock out Carl.

Fans of poker that want to play against Carl at no cost or risk can take advantage of those free-to-enter events.

Many of Carl’s poker sessions will also be live streamed with replays uploaded to the CoinPoker YouTube with analysis of his play and the chance for fans to interact with the champ and win signed merchandise.

Unlike most online poker sites that aren’t accessible to players in all countries, CoinPoker takes advantage of cryptocurrency to be completely decentralized and open globally.

New players can open an account in minutes from any country with minimal ID requirements, and place bets at the tables using USDT which is equivalent to US dollars.
