Carl Froch is very adamant about landing a Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. shot in Las Vegas. So adamant that it’s to the point that Froch may consider walking away from the ring if he does not get the fight. The fight isn’t done yet because of Chavez’ contract dispute with Top Rank. Froch’s promoter was in Las Vegas hoping to have a deal set. But Froch really wants the Chavez fight to happen according to his trainer Rob McCracken.
“Fighters have to have the desire to fight and have the training camp, go through all the tough preparation,” McCracken told ESPN. “That’s what Carl has to decide and if he wants to fight on now. They are talking to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. about fighting in Las Vegas, and that is a possibility. We are talking about it now, so we will see if it can happen.”
His trainer feels Froch is near the end of his career and only wants the major fights so he could see Froch retiring after the Chavez fight if it happens.
“At the very most he will box twice more. He could fight Chavez and then do the winner of Groves-James DeGale if they fight in the summer. But if I was a betting man I would say one more and if it doesn’t happen, he will retire.”
