An ex-boxer has gone viral after saying there is no proof the Earth is round.
Carl Froch is an accomplished former British boxer who competed from 2002 to 2014, he’s since worked as a boxing analyst and commentator.
He’s recently become the talk of the internet after openly admitting he believes in some rather wild conspiracy theories.
In a December 2022 appearance on the Pound for Pound podcast with Jake Wood and Spencer Oliver, he expressed his belief that the Earth is flat rather than round, while also accusing NASA of being “fake.”
As quoted by The Sun, he stated:
“The Earth is flat, 100 percent.
“There’s no proof of the Earth’s curvature, and this fake space agency, NASA, uses CGI images—each one looking different.”
“I look at them and think, ‘Hang on a minute, they’re like cartoons.’”
“When someone like Richard Branson goes up there and starts doing chartered flights, allowing people to see the Earth’s curvature firsthand, then I’ll believe it’s a globe.”
He later doubled down on these claims during an appearance on the Macklin’s Take podcast.
When asked if he truly believes the Earth is flat, Froch responded:
“Here’s the problem. I’ve tried to prove it—and I challenge anybody listening—prove that the Earth is spherical. Prove that it’s round. Prove that it’s actually a globe.”
Macklin countered:
“All I know is that when Michael Conlan was boxing in Brisbane, we left LA, flew west, and 12 hours later, we were in Brisbane. So I don’t see how the world can possibly be flat.”
In response, the former boxer gave a perplexing explanation:
“I could take a piece of A4 paper, mark the center as the North Pole—the center of the flat Earth—and draw the ice wall along the southern edge, all the way around the circumference. You would still be able to circumnavigate and travel from LA to Brisbane on the same flight path.”
“Next question.”
Froch has also accused NASA of faking the Moon landings, even though it’s widely accepted that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the lunar surface in 1969.
He told Action Network (per Daily Express): “The equipment they used to get up there was as powerful as a Zedec Spectrum, which probably wasn’t that powerful.
“It was a computer when I was a kid. We can’t get there now, and I think everything we’ve been told about the Moon landing [is made up].
“When you look at all of the evidence, all the footage, and the fact that they lost all of the telemetric data that tells you that they went to the Moon then I would say that we did not go to the Moon.
