Froch stated on DAZN that he liked the Kell Brook fight.
"You mentioned Amir Khan's fight, but he's only good at getting knocked out that child; he should retire now.
"Amir Khan must turn it in. I'm not being straight. I'm brutally honest.
Tony Bellew, Tony's colleague, was shocked by his comments. He then spoke out in support of the two-time champion at the world championship.

Froch replied unmoved, "I think that he knows that he's retiring." Kell Brook is a great fighter."
Eddie Hearn, Benn's promoter, said that Khan would be his next opponent. Brook should be his next fight.
He said, "It won’t be Amir Khan next. He won’t be around until after the year ends."
"I'm talking Mikey Garcia and Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman. Adrien Broner, David Avanesyan. We want a big fight.
Kell Brook was the only name I didn’t mention. This fight is the perfect one to determine the best welterweight fighter in Britain. I believe that this man is the right choice.
"If Kell Brook wishes to cash out we tried to give it to him, he requested PS10million... That tells me that he doesn't want fight, but we'll watch what happens.
"But this [Benn] will be the future. This isn’t about a cash-out. This isn’t about one last roll. This is a young man with four, five or six years of experience at the elite end.
