Tickets for the fight between King Arthur Abraham and Carl “The Cobra” Froch, who will battle it out at the famous Chapiteau de Fontvieille in Monaco on October 2, are on sale NOW. They can be purchased at www.ticketcorner.ch . “It is all or nothing now,” King Arthur said. “The stakes have never been higher. Carl Froch is a great fighter and I have a lot of respect for him. But I will be fighting for my life and I will leave the ring as the winner.”
Abraham, who comes off the first loss of his career, will be eager to return to winning ways. After a spectacular KO victory sent Jermain Taylor into retirement last October and made King Arthur the early favourite to win the tournament, he suffered a controversial DQ loss against Andre Dirrell in Detroit. Froch defended his WBC Super-Middleweight Title against Dirrell in his first tournament fight in October before losing a dramatic 12-rounder to Danish superstar Mikkel Kessler, also tasting defeat for the first time of his career. “Abraham-Froch at a glamorous place like Monaco will be as good as it gets,” said Kalle Sauerland. “There will be two hungry warriors with incredible punching power going at each other from the first bell, looking to restore their pride after tough losses. We could not have asked for a more explosive meeting. Arthur will destroy the Cobra!”
Froch is convinced he will defeat King Arthur. "I am going to let my fists do the talking but there will be only one winner on the night, there is no way that Abraham is going to beat me,” he said. Added promoter Mick Hennessy: "This fight is the real deal, by far the very best fight out there. You have two of the Worlds fiercest warriors pitted against each other in a fantastic location. I know Carl is going to do the business in this fight and make his country proud."

MALONEY: BURNS IS AN EXAMPLE TO BOOTH
FRANK MALONEY believes Jason Booth should take encouragement from Ricky Burns world title triumph.
The Scot caused a big upset in Glasgow on Saturday night taking the WBO super-featherweight title from Rocky Martinez.
Booth (35-5) challenges Canadian Steve Molitor (32-1) for the IBF super-bantamweight championship at Rainton Meadows Arena, Houghton-le-Spring on Saturday night (11th Sept) and like Burns will start a huge underdog.
Booth’s promoter Frank Maloney said: “Jason should look at what Ricky has done and he will know it is not an impossible dream.
“Ricky showed incredible heart and an amazing will to win against Martinez. If Jason does the same there will be another major upset.
“I promoted the fight when Ricky lost to one of my men, Carl Johanneson and back then I wouldn’t ever have said he would become a world champion.
“Jason must take heart from what he has achieved and remember that when he steps into the ring on Saturday night.”
In the chief supporting bout to, British featherweight champion Martin Lindsay (16-0) boxes a non-title eight rounder Kenyan southpaw David Kiilu (33-10-2)
Local stars in action include Tony Jeffries (7-0-1), Jon Lewis Dickinson (8-1), Travis Dickinson (6-0), Trevor Crewe (2-2), Gary Fox (2-0), Kirk Goodings (4-0), Martin Ward (8-0), George Watson (8-1-2), and debutant Glen Foot.
Tickets for the massive night of action are available from 0871 226 1508, 0191 564 0202 or www.frankmaloney.com . VIP Ringside are £95 with the rest a bargain £35. Get yours in advance for a show that looks certain to sell out.
