Froch vacated his IBF belt in February, saying that a bout against mandatory challenger James DeGale did not make "financial or business sense" and "would not get me out of bed". Froch has confirmed he will now work as a boxing pundit for Sky Sports. George Groves - who was knocked out by Froch in - paid tribute to the fighter but doubted whether he would have beaten some of the other greats in British boxing.
Groves told Sky Sports News: "Carl Froch was a tough, strong man, very tough, but I don't know how he would have got on with those guys. Him and Nigel Benn would have been an out-and-out war. Andre Ward - one of only two men to beat Froch in his career - backed his decision to retire now. Ward told Sky Sports: external-link "You have to respect the way he went about it, and the fact he not only stepped up but beat just about all the guys he fought at the top level.
I actually like him a lot because he reminds me a lot of myself with his competitiveness. Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez rightfully defeated Daniel Jacobs as their unification clash became a battle of wits instead of a brutal war, says Carl Froch.
Ahead of Vasyl Lomachenko's world title defence against Anthony Crolla, you can find out how highly the Ukrainian star is ranked in Carl Froch's pound-for-pound list.
Callum Johnson has enough power to threaten the world's best, but needs to force his way back into title contention, says Sky Sports expert Carl Froch. Carl Froch might not be George Groves' best friend, but he believes it was the right time for his old foe to call it a day. I really would. Froch announced his retirement immediately after knocking out rival George Groves, 33, with 80, fans in attendance at Wembley Stadium.
He almost made a comeback two years later to face middleweight king Gennady Golovkin, 39, but talks broke down due to a weight disagreement. Froch has since called out Calzaghe, 49, but never looked close to fighting again. Ahead of his rematch with George Groves, Froch reveals how his training will keep him swinging for the full 12 rounds.
In round nine I was hammering him. So how does he account for his durability? It also helps that Froch trains like a maniac. When you wake up in the morning and your body's aching and you feel fucked, you're forcing it to adapt. In addition to endless rounds of pad work, bag work and sparring, Froch enhances his conditioning by sticking to a varied daily running routine see box right and working full-time with a strength and conditioning coach.
Another area where Froch maintains these high standards is the kitchen.
