IBF/WBA 'regular' super middleweight champion Carl Froch is only days away from his anticipated rematch with domestic rival George Groves, which takes place before a massive crowd of 80,000 fans at Wembley. This is the biggest fight of Froch's career and one of the biggest fights in British boxing history. Froch drew 20,000 fans for last year's rematch victory over Mikkel Kessler and he can't even imagine what it's going to be like to fight before a massive audience that is four times bigger.
"I knew it would be big, but not this big, so, yes, it has surpassed my expectations," Froch told The Nottingham Post. "Because the first fight was controversial it has set up this rematch and made it such a massive fight."
"Selling out an 80,000 seater stadium for a boxing event has not happened post-war. This is the biggest fight in the history of British boxing since the war. It's fantastic to be involved in and I'm so proud to put my sport that I love on a platform. It's a proud moment for me and my family."
"I've never been to an event at Wembley so it's all going to be new to me. I can only imagine what it's going to feel like – it's going to be phenomenal. It's four times bigger than anything I've ever done. We had 20,000 at the O2 (against Mikkel Kessler) and this is going to be 80,000. The O2 was massive, so to be four times bigger than that I can't even imagine what it's going to be like, but we'll soon see."
