Carl Froch "can't get motivated" to fight James DeGale

Carl Froch insists that he has no interest in fighting British rival James D Gale regardless of the result of his IBF super-middleweight title match with Andre Dirrell.

Carl Froch has insisted that he has no interest in fighting James DeGale, even if his fellow Briton becomes a world champion this weekend.

The IBF super-middleweight title that Froch vacated in February is up for grabs when DeGale meets American Andre Dirrell in Boston on Saturday.

Froch is weighing up retirement after his Las Vegas finale with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr fell through, and a possible bout with 2008 Olympic gold medallist DeGale would not be enough to convince 'The Cobra' to step into the ring again.

"I'll be flipping a coin to see if I am going to fight again but to be totally honest, the DeGale fight doesn't do anything for me," he told Sky Sports News.

"I can't get motivated to fight him. It's not an exciting fight for me. That's in no way disrespectful to DeGale because if he beats Dirrell - which is a tough task - he's done well.

"I hope he does beat him and brings the title back to Britain. That's good for British boxing, keeping the titles over here. I've just vacated the IBF so it would be nice to see it come back to England, but is it a fight that I fancy? Not really."

Froch, 37, has not boxed since the rematch win over George Groves at Wembley in May 2014.
