Bernard Hopkins is the only notable omission from that list. Hearn revealed plans for a fight with Ward - apart from Kessler the only other fighter to defeat Froch in his career - next spring in the UK and told The Daily Telegraph: "We want to keep Carl on Sky Box Office in the UK, and we have three names here in Europe we'd like him to fight. Kessler again, possibly, in a trilogy fight, George Groves, and James DeGale. But I think Groves and DeGale are bigger fights down the line."
