Carl Froch has revealed that American Kelly Pavlik could be his next opponent when he returns to the ring in November.
The 35-year-old beat Lucian Bute for the IBF super-middleweight title in May, and he has admitted he would relish the chance to take on former world champion Pavlik.
Froch told BBC Radio Nottingham: "Pavlik has been calling me out, so I would like to shut him up.
"If we can get him over to Nottingham, that would be one that the fans would want."
Froch has stated his intention to fight on either 3 or 10 November, before a March rematch with Bute.
