Carl Froch has insisted that age is just a number, and that he is about to enter the peak years of his career. Froch, 32, turned professional relatively late, aged 27, and the Nottingham fighter has told Sky Sports that he is still at the top of his game.
“I've kept a diary since I turned pro and it logs every run, every sit-up, every sparring session I've ever had and how I've felt mentally after each session,” said Froch. “Basically, the diaries record every punch I've thrown in my pro career. Every training session gets recorded and it means I can look back and see how I'm progressing - not just through an individual training camp but through my entire career”
He continued: “I've compared the times and stats with stuff I've been doing in the gym through the years and I'm still improving on them so I'm getting better and better. I honestly don't believe I've reached my peak yet and the diaries back that up.”
Froch is in training ahead of his showdown with undefeated American Andre Dirrell this October; the fight will see Froch defend his WBC super-middleweight title in front of his Nottingham fans, as Carl aims to make an impressive start to the Super Six tournament.
