CARL FROCH has imposed a nookie ban on his girlfriend, voted one of the best-looking women in the world.
The WBC super-middleweight champion has been dating knockout model Rachael Cordingley for a year.
He defends his title tonight in front of a sell-out crowd at his home-town Nottingham Arena. And it is 10 weeks since he stopped bonking the 22-year-old brunette beauty.
Froch reckons there has been nothing on his mind for the past three months other than beating American rival Andre Dirrell.
It has been a peck on the cheek and no more for the Miss Maxim Global winner when Froch turns out the lights at night.
Froch, 31, said: "In terms of sex, when you're training and fighting, you lose interest in anything else - even though my girlfriend is around.
"I take my training seriously and the things you do with your partner are not part of a training camp.
"I have spent 10 weeks training for Dirrell and I can safely say I have not had the energy to partake."
Heavyweight contender David Haye insists one of his biggest frustrations training for bouts was cutting out bedroom gymnastics until his fights were over.
But Froch added: "Haye talks about resisting sex. It is not about resisting. If I am training I'm not interested in anything else. I'm a pure athlete.
"As for Rachael, she really does bring so much joy and happiness to my life since we have been together.
"We seemed to gel from the first moment we met.
"I couldn't believe such a good-looking girl would love boxing so much.
"We first met through mutual friends when a previous relationship of mine broke up and we have been together ever since."
Froch even hinted he could be ready to tie the knot one day soon as he cheekily added: "I think the future is bright with Rachael, I really do."
Rachael is a self-confessed sports nut and preferred to be in every team at school from swimming to golf rather than get stuck into her studies - even though she left with three A-Levels.
She will be ringside as usual at Nottingham Arena when university graduate Froch responds to the first bell at around 2am.
To adjust to the time, which was set so American cable TV company Showtime could show the fight live coast to coast, Froch has turned into a night owl as he adjusts his body clock.
He has watched countless late-night black and white movies but Russell Crowe's Gladiator has been his and Rachael's favourite.
Froch said: "Rachael stays with me at the house but we both go to bed at 3am or 4am so I can properly adjust to the fight start time. We get up at around 11am and then I'll train.
"I love watching Gladiator because it is a film about a proud warrior doing the business. I'd like to think I was doing the same.
"It's a really good film and obviously being a fighter is like the build-up of going into the arena like a gladiator.
"What the gladiators went through is life or death so it is more intense than professional boxing. But that film does it for me in the sense that the waiting out in the changing rooms or underground waiting to go out and face the crowd and face the battle.
"I probably won't watch it again before the fight. I have seen what I need to see and it'll stay with me.
"I am going to relax on fight day and I will put a film on, most probably a gangster movie like Casino or Goodfellas."
Dirrell's quick, slick hands could make the most of Froch's questionable defence.
What Dirrell lacks is Froch's numbing power and experience of going 12 rounds.
Froch, unbeaten in 25 fights, said: "I've been working hard on my defence. I've listened to people who say I carry my hands too low but I am an evolving fighter.
"But I am not about to become someone who hides his face behind his gloves.
"Fans come to watch me because I excite and I'll carry on giving them what they want. I'll be giving them value for money again.
"You all know the script, you know what's happening, you know what's coming. I bring it every time and I'll be bringing it Saturday night.
"I'm looking forward to it, I cannot wait. That belt's going nowhere, it's staying in Nottingham.
"Dirrell knows he will be in deep water. He has never been 12 rounds before and if he lasts that long there's only one winner and it's not him."
