There will be an eventual rematch between top super middleweights Carl Froch and Lucian Bute. It just won’t be immediate, which is good news for both fighters.
Bute announced Thursday afternoon that he will be exercising the rematch clause in his contract from their first fight. However, the news comes with the caveat that both fighters will head in opposite directions in taking interim fights later this year.
“That was not the real Lucian Bute in that Nottingham ring on May 26,” Bute (30-1, 24KO) vowed in looking back on the 5th round knockout loss to Froch in Nottingham, England.
The defeat was the first of Bute’s career, also putting to an end a super middleweight title reign that lasted more than 3 ˝ years.
“I spent the last few weeks reflecting about what went wrong, what happened, and the only thing that is crystal clear in my mind is that I want my rematch with Carl Froch as soon as possible.”
