Carl Froch set to announce comeback fight against Roy Jones

Froch is on the brink of announcing his return to the ring, with the Cobra expected to face Roy Jones Jr. Jones is a previous opponent of Calzaghe and fought Mike Tyson in a comeback bout in November

Froch retired from professional boxing following his victory over George Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley Arena, and has since had a successful career with Sky Sports as a boxing pundit.

However, with more and more professional boxers coming out of retirement to compete in exhibition bouts, Froch was approached and asked whether he would be interested in one final fight. Froch discussed this in a recent appearance on talkSPORT’s White and Jordan.

“Listen, we’ve been approached by a company – I won’t say who it is yet.

“But if I go in there and it does work out that it happens, I ain’t gonna be taking any punches on my new nose let me tell you.

“I won’t be getting that flattened.”

In a separate interview in May, Froch revealed his excitement at potentially competing again, even in an exhibition bout with 12oz gloves, and claimed even with the larger gloves, he could still cause some serious damage.
