According to reporter Boris Krosnova, WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch will likely defend his title against Glen Johnson in March or April of next year, and the fight will be staged at a venue within the United States. Froch-Johnson is a semi-final bout in the Super Six Boxing Classic. The winner is going to face the Andre Ward-Arthur Abraham victor in the finals. Froch has not fought in the United States since last April's TKO of Jermain Taylor. Johnson is a late replacement for the withdrawing Andre Dirrell, who Froch decisioned in the first stage of the tournament. Froch can always make a substantional enough offer to bring Johnson over to Europe.
