Nottingham ring warrior Carl Froch will deserve widespread sporting
recognition should he defeat Armenian ironman Arthur Abraham and
regain the World Boxing Council super-middleweight title here in the
early hours of Sunday morning.
Title fight: Carl Froch will try to regain the World Boxing Council
super-middleweight title when faces Armenian Arthur Abraham on Sunday
Froch weighed in at 11st 13lbs, Abraham was 11st 13 and a half pounds.
It was minus 10 degrees in Finland's capital on Friday, and the irony
of a venue many miles from home has not been lost on the British
fighter who has been "a nowhere man" in the struggle for exposure in
the British television market.
Two weeks ago, the British public witnessed the farce and gulf in
class between the heavyweight world champion David Haye, and pretender
Audley Harrison, in Manchester.
Yet this is the real deal, a barnburner of a contest, pitching a
very tough Armenian against a proud British fighter who refuses to
give an inch, in a legitimate world title battle. It is potentially,
or at least has the hallmarks, of the fight of the year.
