Carl Froch contemplating retirement after his stunning KO victory over George Groves
CARL FROCH could quit boxing after the biggest night of his career.
"I've had a
fantastic, glossy career. I've been a pro for 12 years, I've got two WBC
belts, the IBF and 13 world title fights back to back and now I've just
fought in the national stadium and created history.
"If I bowed out on that moment I would be a happy man. If people remember me for that, that is fine."
It was an amazing night for British boxing as almost 80,000 packed Wembley and nearly one million watched at home.
Froch
finished Groves off in a fairly even contest with a devastating right
and referee Charlie Fitch did not even bother to count.
Froch will now discuss his next move with coach Rob McCracken.
There
is a potential third fight with Dane Mikkel Kessler and also a
unification bout with WBC champ Sakio Bika, who were both ringside for
Froch's dismantling of Groves.
British rival James DeGale also
moved into the mandatory position for Froch's IBF belt with his win over
Brandon Gonzales on the night.
The three-time world champion
said: "There has to be something special for me to put myself through
another three months of pain.
"I could hang my gloves up now,
quite happily and quite comfortably and spend time with my beautiful
partner and children at home."
