IBF/WBA "regular" super middleweight champion Carl Froch is looking for other options in the near future - and those options do not include a rematch with domestic rival George Groves (19-1, 15KOs). Last weekend, Groves dropped Froch (32-2, 23KOs) hard in the first round and rocked the veteran several times in the course of the fight. Groves was ahead on all three of the official cards when Froch stunned him in the ninth and the referee, Howard Foster, jumped in for a controversial ending.
"As much as the fans want to see it reach a natural conclusion against George Groves, with me knocking him out again, I feel personally I gave him his chance and he blew it - he can't cut it at world level," said Froch to BBC East Midlands.
"I've done my job and it's time to move on, but we'll see what happens. I'm not motivated by money, I'm motivated by securing a legacy and the love for my sport that I have."
