Herning - Team Sauerland, Hennessy Sports and SHOWTIME Sports are proud toannounce that WBC Super-Middleweight Champion Carl Froch will be flown into either North Germany orDenmark with a private jet on Tuesday afternoon. The undefeated 32-year-old missed todays publicwork-out in Herning after the Iceland Volcano had KOed his original travel plans.

 “We are delighted tohave things sorted out and bring the Cobra to Herning for his Super Six showdown with Mikkel Kessler,”said Kalle Sauerland.

“He will manage to defy one volcano by hiring a private jet, but he will be in troublewhen another volcano – the Viking Volcano – erupts in the ring on Saturday night.”Froch, who will be travelling with his model girlfriend Rachael Cordingley and trainer Robert McCracken,is looking forward to his second-round Super Six World Boxing Classic clash with Kessler.

“I am happythat all travel arrangements are sorted,” the Cobra said. “Not that it had me worried – I knew I was goingto get there somehow – but Im glad I can now fully focus on the fight against Mikkel. It will not be ahappy night for all the Danish fans in attendance. I am the best Super-Middleweight in the World and Iam flying in to take care of business.”Ken Hershman, Executive Vice President and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports®, cannot wait forthe first bell either.

 “My hat’s off to Team Sauerland and Hennessy Sports for their efforts to keep theevent on schedule,” Hershman said. “It’s on! Carl Froch will meet Mikkel Kessler in the center of the ringat the sold-out MCH Arena in Denmark this Saturday for their anticipated Group Stage 2 matchup. We have contingency plans in place for our coverage on SHOWTIME and our viewers are in for yet anothercrucial and intense super middleweight bout. The question at this point is not, ‘Will the fight happen? ’But rather, ‘What will happen in the fight?’ Can Kessler get on the scoreboard and recapture the worldtitle? Can Froch pull ahead in points and all but secure himself a coveted semifinal berth? Or simply,‘Who will win this battle?’ No one knows. We have seen so many surprising turns thus far in the SuperSix World Boxing Classic and we are barely halfway through the Group Stage. I can’t wait for the firstbell.”

Meanwhile, with Froch absent, Kessler pleased his home fans by signing autographs for more than 30minutes following todaýs crowded media work-out at the Herning Shopping Centret.

“I am in greatshape,” the Viking Warrior said. “I am glad that Froch has finally decided to show up. Maybe he is a littlescared. I dont know and I dont care – I will knock him out on Saturday to secure the first three points ofthe tournament!”
