The penny finally drops for Froch

Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch has been pandering for a fight with Joe Calzaghe for a long time, this is not anything new but the fact the Nottingham based WBC super middleweight champion has finally accepted that the fight he craves for may not actually happen is.

Froch is currently obligated to take part in the Super 6 super middleweight competition and amidst rumours of a Calzaghe return he realises this obligation could scupper any chances for an all British brawl. Speaking to magazine Sporting Life, Froch said,

“I don’t think that fight will ever happen now, especially as Calzaghe’s lifestyle was recently exposed. He’s 38 now and when I win the Super Six tournament it’ll be another 18 months or two years down the line and by then it will be too late for him. I really don’t care if he does come out of retirement or not. It would have been a fight the fans would have loved to have seen and I think if you want to consider yourself as the best you have to fight the best. He had a spell when he was number one in the world and I put myself in line to take him on. I wanted the challenge and he didn’t, end of story. He’ll be the one that regrets it, not me.”
