Froch undergoes surgery!
British and Commonwealth super middleweight champion Carl Froch has underwent the knife last week to rectify a long-term ligament problem. The undefeated 29-year-old, who should shortly find himself in the WBC #1 position, first damaged his right knee around four years ago in training. A scan at the time revealed that the anterior cruciate ligament was only partially torn and would in all likelihood heal sufficiently naturally, so after a short rest he went on with the business of boxing. "The Cobra," however, has remained under ongoing observation after being advised that the ligament remained a potential weak-point and that through continued use the injury could re-occur at some point in the future if not corrected with surgery. A few tweaks in the knee while training recently have convinced him and his team to sort the problem once and for all.
