By Scott Gilfoid: While Carl Froch recently said that he might be interested in making a comeback to fight IBF super middleweight champion James DeGale if he beats Lucian Bute this month in their fight on November 28th, Froch’s promoter Eddie Hearn believes that the only fighter that will get Froch to come out of retirement is IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin.
With the huge money that Froch made in his last fight against George Groves in 2014, which was said to be £8m [$12 million USD], Hearn thinks the only fight that would get Froch to comeback would be Golovkin. Hearn has a pretty good idea how the British boxing public would take to a Froch-DeGale fight, and he must be thinking that it wouldn’t be nearly as big a deal as Froch seems to think it would be.
