Carl Froch Finally Gives Up The Joe Calzaghe Chase
By Mark Vester
It took a few years but WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch has finally given up the chase on his country rival Joe Calzaghe. Even after Calzaghe announced his retirement at the start of the year, Froch continued to go after him in the press. He wasn't playing alone. Calzaghe took plenty of shots at Froch since the start of 2009. Froch has realized that Calzaghe will never return to the ring.
“I know he isn’t going to fight again because of his family. That’s okay,” Froch told Daily Star.
Calzaghe is busy taking part in a reality show. Something Froch may consider after boxing.
“Good luck to Joe. His boxing career is finished so why not do something different? He’s agile, fit and good on his feet so he could do well. It’s something I would consider. But you wouldn’t get me eating donkey or kangaroo testicles like they do on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. I’d be sick,” Froch said.
As part of the first round of the Super Six tournament, Froch defends his title against Andre Dirrell on October 17 in Nottingham.
