According to a UK newspaper, The Telegraph:

Mick Hennessy, Froch's promoter, told Telegraph Sport last night that the contest, pitching the title holder against the mandatory challenger, "is set to take place either on April 18 or April 25, either in New York, at Madison Square Garden or in Florida."
Froch, unbeaten in 24 fights, the last in December, a 12-round gladiatorial battle against Jean Pascal of Canada earning the 30 year old British fighter the prestigious WBC 168lb belt vacated by Joe Calzaghe.
Froch is relishing the prospect of facing Taylor, who is the mandatory challenger following a unanimous decision over Jeff Lacy last November, and has claimed that the American is running scared.
He said: "I'm hearing that it's looking very promising but they'll probably still need to drag Taylor to the ring kicking and screaming because I don't think he wants any part of me."
Taylor (28-2-1, 17 KOs) recently spoke out on Joe Calzaghe's retirement and claimed Froch could not be mentioned in the same breath as the undefeated Welshman.
"Joe would probably have tapped and slapped his way to a boring points win but I guarantee you, I will smoke Taylor's boots and destroy him," said Froch.
"He did get one thing right though when he said that I'm no Joe Calzaghe. That's certainly true. When Calzaghe won a version of the world title it took him 10 and a half years to fight in the US and 44 fights before he won the title that I now hold."
