British boxing champion Carl Froch reveals that he is pursuing an acting career as he ponders his future inside the ring.

British boxing champion Carl Froch is preparing himself for a second career in Hollywood as he ponders his future in the ring.

The WBA super-middleweight title holder, 37, admits that he is "in a bit of a dilemma" over whether to continue in boxing after the breakdown of his dream Las Vegas finale.

He is already exploring life after eventually hanging up his gloves and is set to follow in the footsteps of former sports stars such as Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham in pursuing an acting career, with his screen debut to come in a film called Once Upon a Time In London.

"I'm by no stage of the imagination an actor, I don't think you're listening to the next Robert De Niro," Froch told BBC Radio 5 live. "[Former footballer] Vinnie Jones did well out of it, I think [former Commonwealth diver] Jason Statham did well from no real experience and they've gone on to have good careers.

"When I was on the Jonathan Ross Show I met Sir Ben Kingsley - acting royalty - I've met Samuel L Jackson, Michael Douglas. I've been talking to them and asking how they got into it. Nobody became a superstar overnight.

"A lot of the time they play themselves, so that was the advice: be yourself. I'll probably be chucking someone in the River Thames."

Froch has been ordered into a 2015 rematch with American Andre Ward - one of only two men to have beaten him in his 35-fight professional career.
