Its a quick way for ward to skip the line after the inactivity, but I don't think Froch will oblige. If froch was in the middle of his career, I think he would.

If he only has a last hurrah left in him, I can't blame him for not wanting to be hugged, slow danced and hit on the break for a whole fight. He wants to go out swinging big, mixing it up in a fight where he can use his strengths and putting an exclamation mark on his career.
