Arum to Bunce: "Sturm in October, Froch in January is the plan"

[JazMerkin]

Guess that if that comes into play, Froch won't risk his big payday by fighting Bute or Hopkins

Jaz, regardless I think Froch-Bute happens at the end of the year. Froch has made a point of saying he only wants big fights, so I doubt he takes a voluntary defence instead. Hennessy already offered him that option and he turned it down flat.

The thing is though, he's got till next May before a mandatory title defence comes up even as a possibility as Taylor was his mandatory, so he might just wait on a Pavlik fight, although a fight with Bute is what I want to see.

Ideally, Froch-Bute winner fights Andrade (who's the IBF mandatory anyway) as Kessler won't be back by then.

Sturm-Pavlik winner fights Abraham.

Then stick the guys on top after all of it in against each other at 168.

Won't happen though
