Froch was recently stripped of his WBA super-middleweight belt and was thought to be close to ending his career.
But Hearn said the 37-year-old is tempted by the prospect of one last big-money fight at Wembley Stadium.

"The world champions like Vettel, Alonso and Lewis all deserve roughly the same," says the Austrian three-time world champion.
"They work for the money and they earn it. When you see how they drive and what they achieve, how Lewis has been driving, it is really something."
Northants 309, Surrey 264-4 (Scorecard)

Glamorgan 314 & 270 v Essex 221 & 158-5 (Scorecard)
BBC Essex's Nick Gledhill at Cardiff: "Glamorgan remain favourites to win despite a spirited performance from Essex on a pitch offering variable bounce.
"Dan Lawrence and nightwatchman Jamie Porter took their overnight partnership to 69 before Andrew Salter dismissed Lawrence for a promising 43 and had James Foster caught off his own bowling for nine.
"Previously wicketless Michael Hogan then bowled Porter for a career-best 34 leaving Ryan ten Doeschate and Kishen Velani to resume with Essex needing a further 206."
Gloucestershire 193 & 282 v Kent 235 & 85-2 (Scorecard)
Kent are on course for their first Championship win of the season. The last wicket off Matt Taylor fell early doors for Gloucestershire, leaving the visitors needing 241 for victory.
And despite Daniel Bell-Drummond being caught by Chris Dent off Craig Miles for just three and Brendan Nash falling for 25, Joe Denly and Sam Northeast are leading the charge home.
Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling is set to ask for a move away from the Reds but could the 20-year-old do the unthinkable and break a footballing taboo by moving to Manchester United.
With the last player to move between the clubs Phil Chisnall more than 50 years ago, BBC Sport takes a look at other surprise moves between fierce rivals.

"Footballer of the Year Eden Hazard has had emergency dental surgery and will be unable to collect his award in person tonight.
"Hazard tried to delay the surgery but had to have three wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday and is still in considerable pain.
"Previous winner Gianfranco Zola will pay tribute to Hazard and Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck will deliver a message from the player. Hazard will almost certainly miss Chelsea's final game against Sunderland - the first Premier League game he will have missed this season."
Image source, Getty ImagesWe now have a four-way tie at the top of the leaderboard at the PGA Championship at Wentworth.
Spanish pair Jorge Campillo and Miguel Angel Jimenez and England's Chris Wood are all in the clubhouse on four under while Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts is also on four under with two holes of his round left to play.
Defending champion and world number one Rory McIlroy has moved onto one under with one to play.
Among the absentees for Hodgson are goalkeepers Ben Foster and Fraser Forster, who both have long-term knee injuries, while injuries have also ruled out Spurs defender Kyle Walker, Manchester United pair Luke Shaw and Michael Carrick and Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
There was also no recall for in-form Manchester United winger Ashley Young, who last played for his country in 2013.
Strikers Harry Kane (Spurs), Saido Berahino (West Brom) and Danny Ings (Burnley) were all named on Wednesday in the Under 21 squad for the European Championship.
Hodgson on Gareth Southgate's under-21 squad: "I gave him my word that he would get first choice and then when he was happy with his squad, I would organise mine.
"There is no conflict whatsoever, that is not to say that he does not have players that I would like to have with me."

"He is a talented player and has been on the radar for a period of time in terms of the under-age set-up and I've now seen him break into the Aston Villa first team and Tim Sherwood put his faith in him.
"He could play for either country but it has to be his decision and his alone and we must respect it and shouldn't put undue influence on him. If he decides to play for us we will be very happy."
England manager Roy Hodgson on Leicester striker Jamie Vardy: "I had watched him at Fleetwood and know he had the pace and desire to run in behind players, which is always an interesting quality for coaches and have seen his performances in the latter part of the season with Leicester.
"He is another player, alongside Austin that will be nice to get to know him better,"
Image source, Getty ImagesStriker Jamie Vardy has scored four Premier League goals for Leicester this season as he helped the Foxes avoid relegation.
Image source, Getty ImagesRoy Hodgson on QPR striker Charlie Austin: "We have always had our eye on Austin but up to this point we have had the full quota of forward players. But we now have space there because of the injury to Sturridge and we don't have Kane, Ings or Berahino on this occasion.
"He will get an opportunity to show us what he can do in training and in matches, though I can't promise him a game. I am pleased to welcome him into the fold. I have heard good things about him and know he is a good player."
Austin has scored 17 Premier League goals for relegated-QPR this season.
