Froch returns March 23!

Tickets have gone on sale for the Hennessy Sports promoted event at the Nottingham Arena on March 23rd featuring British and Commonwealth super middleweight champion Carl Froch (20-0, 16 KOs). The local hero will feature in a twelve-rounder against a "highly ranked international opponent" to be announced shortly. "I had hoped to make another defense of my British Title by knocking out Robin Reid," said Froch yesterday. "As a former world champion that would have been a good scalp on my record, but he's bottled it so I will be looking to build on my International experience. I am ready to step up now and I would like to be challenging for a world title later this year. I could fight for the European, but there are a lot of politics around the super middleweight title at the moment and I don't want to get held up. I am already number three in the world and there are some massive fights out there for me. My next opponent will be a major step towards them."
