Froch on Career: I Don't Know What I'm Going To Do

By Edward Chaykovsky

Former super middleweight champion Carl Froch, 37-years-old, is still undecided as to the future of his pro career. Froch has a lot of offers out there, from Gennady Golovkin, Andre Ward, James DeGale and several other in a loaded 168-pound division.

Froch has been out of the ring since last May's knockout of George Groves before a record crowd of 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London.

He was planning to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. this past March in Las Vegas, but suffered an injury and withdrew. Then Chavez was completely off the table after the Mexican fighter was upset with a knockout loss in April.

Unless there is a lot of money on the table in a big fight, Froch is likely not going to return to the ring. 

He told TalkSport: “If I don’t box again, I don’t fight again. I’ll be a very happy and satisfied man. I’ve had a fantastic career but that’s not to say I wouldn’t fight again. I’m 37 years old walking around at 12 stone seven pounds and there is fight left in me. Everyone wants an announcement – am I going to fight or retire – but I don’t what I’m going to do.

“If an opportunity comes up to fight a feasible opponent that’s going to make not just me, but Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Promotions a lot of money, like the Andre Ward fight in Nottingham would have, then I’ll fight again.

“But at the moment there are no real options, even the James DeGale fight is not a big fight.”
