Carl Froch

Ever since we found out that the Klitschko brothers are part Jewish, we stopped our long, exhaustive search for recent Jewish boxing champions. Yet one just fell in our lap.

Carl Froch, the current super middleweight world champ. Go!

Froch is English, but, according to the ever-reliable English press, his father is a Polish Jew. Great!

Wrong. While Froch's father is, in fact, Polish, he is rather far from being a Jew. He is a Polish German. In fact, his father's father had no choice but to be conscripted during World War II, to fight for the... Nazis.

Oh well. As we said, we weren't exactly searching for boxing champs. We just need to remember to be careful when referring to that ever-reliable English press...
