Carl Froch: Briton contemplates one-fight comeback

Carl Froch Froch has not fought since May 2014 Former world champion Carl Froch has said he would considering returning to the ring next spring for a one-fight to reclaim his title. Froch, 38, who announced his retirement in July, has been training every day and predicted he would beat IBF super-middleweight champion James DeGale, 29. He said: "Get my old belt back, show them all how it's done and then retire. "There'd be something satisfying about that. I'd beat DeGale, it's an easy job for me and he's world champion." Froch is a four-time world super-middleweight champion who won 33 of his 35 fights, 24 victories by knockout.
