According to promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sports, super middleweight star Carl Froch (33-2, 24KOs) is starting to express some interest in facing WBA/IBO middleweight Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (33-0, 30KOs).

In an earlier article on BoxingScene.com, Triple G's promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions stated that Golovkin has no problem with testing himself by moving up to the super middleweight division to fight Froch.

Froch has been inactive since knocking out George Groves before 80,000 fans last May at Wembley Stadium.

Golovkin is one of the more active champions in the sport and tries to fight at least four times a year. He's already been in action twice in 2015, with knockouts of Martin Murray and Willie Monroe. A September return is being discussed.

The biggest obstacle in making the fight is Froch's motivation to fight again. Outside of a Las Vegas fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., which fell through when Froch got injured and Chavez Jr. got knocked out in March. Froch even vacated his IBF title earlier this year and was stripped of his WBA belt for inactivity.

"We've already asked for that fight. Gennady put in over 12,000 people in the [Forum] and Carl Froch had 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium last year. There is no question, that would be a tremendous fight. I've told Eddie Hearn many times that Gennady would move to 168 and fight [Froch], but Carl is not committed to whether he's going to fight again or whether he's going to retire. But that would be a great fight as well," Loeffler said to BoxingScene.com.

Hearn is stating that Froch is now starting to show some interest in the fight, but whether or not he would actually get in the ring with Golovkin is unknown.

"I’ve now spoken with Carl directly about this and he is interested. I only want him to take it if he’s genuinely motivated because it is a high-risk fight. But it would be massive and we can fill Wembley again. Given Carl’s interest, we have already opened negotiations with Golovkin’s people and they are very keen," Hearn told Daily Mail.

"Golovkin is the most feared fighter in the world now and Carl doesn’t need this fight. But he says he is intrigued by how he would deal with him. He’s crazy that way."
