Carl Froch Content To Walk Away For Good

Nottingham’s Carl Froch does not have a fight on the horizon, but the former Super middleweight world titlist is not in a rush to get his career underway again.
Indeed, the 37-year-old has said that he may not fight again. If Froch does decide to hang up the gloves, he believes that his brace of victories over domestic rival George Groves will provide his career with perfect closure.
Froch told The Sun that he is still basking in the afterglow last May’s eighth-round knockout victory over Groves at Wembley Stadium.
“I'm a four-time world champion. To have the defining moment in front of 80,000 at Wembley against that idiot from London... if I retire, I'm not going to be sad,” promises Froch. “I'm going to be one of the happiest men going.”
A Las Vegas swansong against Julio Cesar Chavez Junior was put on ice earlier this year and has now fallen apart completely following the Mexican’s retirement loss to Andrzej Fonfara at the weekend.
With no Chavez fight on the horizon and little interest in a return with Andre Ward or a domestic showdown with James DeGale—should “Chunky” pick up Froch’s former WBC title next month—it seems that Froch has ran out of viable options and may be content to wind his career down.
