Carl Froch could take on middleweight king Gennady Golovkin in a potential farewell fight, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.<\/p>\n
Froch recently gave up his WBA super-middleweight belt and hinted at retirement, but Golovkin\u2019s camp say their fighter will move up to 168lbs to take the Nottingham fighter on.<\/p>\n
Golovkin, who boasts a perfect 33-0 record with 30 of those wins coming by knockout, had previously talked about dropping a weight to meet Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n
Froch says he will only fight again if a bout is found that will excite him and he has already been out of action for nearly a year since his second victory over George Groves in front of a packed house at Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve seen reports regarding a potential fight with Carl and GGG. It\u2019s a huge fight and we are certainly talking,\u201d Hearn told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt some stage that fight becomes too big to ignore but at this stage we still don\u2019t know if Carl will fight again.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know Carl will fight anyone and if it\u2019s a fight he can get up for and it does happen then It will be a huge event. I can\u2019t rule it out but I also can\u2019t rule out Carl retiring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Golovkin\u2019s promoter Tom Loeffler, talking to Boxing Scene, earlier said: \u201cWe\u2019ve told Froch\u2019s promoter Eddie Hearn that Gennady will go to 168lbs to fight Carl in what would be a tremendous fight.<\/p>\n
But it is not clear whether Carl will retire or fight again.\u201d<\/p>\n
