Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Credits Bellew For Tough Sparring in Camp

Carl Froch believes his explosive sparring sessions with fellow Englishman Tony Bellew ahead of next week's IBF title defence against Yusaf Mack could prove to be tougher than the fight itself.

Sounds like good sparring. It's important to go against a veteran like Bellew but working with the young guys coming up can keep one fresh too.

Tony Bellew a veteran?

Well, you know what I mean. Bellew has experience as a pro which is a contrast to the other 2 guys who are amateur stars.

True, but Bellew has only been a pro for 5 years and has only had one fight above Domestic level.
