International Boxing Hall of Famer Carl Froch revealed that he lost memory of some parts of a particular fight of his to the shock of fans.

The former unified super-middleweight world champion disclosed this while speaking to Boxing Scene recently.

It was while fighting Jermain Taylor at Foxwood Resorts that the surprising incident took place. Froch said the following in explanation:

‘Unfortunately I’ve not got my memory back from that night. That round-three knockdown left me quite heavily concussed. That night, against Jermaine Taylor, climbing off the canvas in round three – I finished the fight quite strong.

‘From round eight; nine, I started to get to him. I was clipping him with quite a few shots and backing him up; he was a bit wobbly; shaky on his feet. [But] I couldn’t get him out of there.

‘Going back to my corner Rob McCracken was like, “Keep backing him up; keep backing him up and when he comes at you, go back at him”. In my head I was, “I gotta keep backing him up”. He never told me to go out there and stop him; “You need a knockout”. I didn’t even know it was the last round.

‘From what I can remember, I didn’t think “This is the last round; I’m going all out”. It’s just all a blur. When I look back at the videos, I literally can’t remember anything.

‘I can’t remember celebrating. My brother [Lee] jumped in after; my wife Rachael was there. I just can’t remember anything. It’s gone. Hopefully it might come back later on in life.’

Froch remains a respectable figure in the world of boxing plus a renowned commentator and analyst.
