Carl Froch, 48, to reunite with coach and begin training for Darren Till comeback fight after holding talks with Misfits


CARL FROCH is set to reunite with his coach Rob McCracken in prepration for a comeback fight against Darren Till.

Froch retired in 2014 after famously knocking out George Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.

But the former super-middleweight world champion has been subject of several callouts by ex-UFC star Darren Till.

Till has moved into boxing after signing with Misfits – the home of celebrity-style crossover bouts.

Froch has been out the ring for over a DECADE – but it due to get the band back together with former cornerman McCracken.

He said on his YouTube channel: “I don’t really want to box again, don’t need to. I’ve been in the gym, as you know, I’ve been hitting the bag.

“I’m gonna go see Rob McCracken next week and I’m gonna start working the heavy bag and the pads. I feel great, 48 years old.

“I don’t feel 48, I don’t drink or smoke. I live clean, as you know. I’ll have the odd drink, pint of Guinness, shot of tequila, whatever.

“But I don’t get p****d ever, I eat clean. I feel great. So, why not? Why not smash someone’s head in that’s a gob s***e?”

Till has won his three Misfits fights and called out Till – who was ringside – after knocking out ex-UFC champion Luke Rockhold in August.

Froch meanwhile has held talks with Mams Taylor – who co-founded Misfits with YouTube star KSI – and promoter Kalle Sauerland.

Eddie Hearn – who also used to promote Froch – is even on board.


Froch, 48, said with his wife Rachael sat next to him: “I don’t need to box but it looks like I’ve got my wife’s blessing if I fancied it.

“But I’m going down to the gym, I’m hitting the bag, I’m gonna see McCracken next week.

“I’m not making any decisions. Listen Darren Till, he bares no relevance to me.

“If the fight’s there, Kalle Sauerland fancies the job because he’s promoting Misfits.

“I’ve spoke to Mams Taylor and also Eddie Hearn’s been in touch as well.

“I’ve had a little back and forth with Eddie Hearn on the old text message. So who knows?

“Maybe I’ll know when I’ve been in the gym and thrown a few punches.”
