Carl Froch hopes his next fight will be in England as he looks to bounce back after losing Saturday's unification bout with Andre Ward.
The 34-year-old has fought his last four bouts outside England, tasting defeat for only the second time in his career at the weekend when he was unanimously out-pointed by Ward in Atlantic City.

Having lost his WBC title to the American, Froch is looking to set up a big homecoming fight, with a rematch against the only other man who has beaten him, Mikkel Kessler, being discussed. Froch hasn't fought at home since he defeated Andre Dirrell in 2009 and the super middleweight is keen to stage a bout in front of his own fans.
"I definitely want to fight back in England, back at home, that's for sure," he confirmed. "But I'll let my promoter address that."
Froch's promoter, Eddie Hearn, believes the Nottingham-based boxer's run to the final of the Super Six tournament, coupled with his style, has made him a big draw, saying: "We're speaking to [IBF champion] Lucian Bute and the Kessler fight is obviously a great rematch.
"But for us it would be nice to do something back in Nottingham."
Next month David Price is 1.12 to beat John McDermott, who is 5.50 to win the bout.
