Four-time world champion Carl Froch has announced his retirement and whether you like him or not you have to acknowledge that's he's been one hell of a fighter.
I'm officially retired from Boxing. So much to say & so many people to thank. But for now, I just want to say THANK YOU to my amazing fans.

However, despite the fact that he's been pound-for-pound the best British boxer of the last few years, folks on Twitter can't help but make that one, obvious joke about The Cobra. Even some publications have gone with it. We'd never do such a thing but to be fair, he has brought this on himself.
