Andre Ward has left the door open for a rematch with IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch.

The American scored a unanimous victory over the 35-year-old in Atlantic City last year, becoming only the second man to best him inside the ring.

Froch has made no secret of his desire to avenge that loss, and Ward has not ruled out a potential unification bout.

"[Froch] seems to think he got a raw deal or the fight was closer than it really was, so why not give him another opportunity?" the 28-year-old told BBC Sport.

"Carl put up a good fight but the fight was not as close as he's saying it was. But I also went in there injured with a broken hand and he has to understand that fully healthy it's going to be a totally different fight."

Ward currently holds the WBC and WBA super middleweight straps.
