Carl Froch targets Las Vegas bout

Carl Froch plays down speculation that he is ready to retire by revealing that he wants to fight in Las Vegas.

Carl Froch has revealed that he would like to fight in Las Vegas before he calls time on his career.

Following his eighth-round victory over fellow Brit George Groves at Wembley last night, reports had suggested that the 36-year-old would decide to hang up his gloves.

However, the IBF and WBA super-middleweight champion has expressed his desire to take to the ring in what is the "fight capital of the world" before he retires from the sport.

"I've got to have a summer with my family. I need to see where I am and I need to see what my options are. I'm a very young 36 and I keep myself in good shape all year round. If I do fight again, it will be somewhere like Las Vegas," he told Sky Sports News.

"Every fighter, especially when you've achieved what I've done in boxing, wants to tick that Las Vegas box - that's the fight capital of the world. For me to not fight in Vegas with the career I've had would be a dying shame. There is steam left in this train."

The win over Groves was the 33rd of Nottingham-born Froch's career.
