Poulard turns down Froch Challange

[BattlingNelson]

I can't see any reason for that fight not to happen

Although I did hear a rumour Frank Warren is trying to make Kessler-Cleverly, but that was just whispers on the wind, so might be complete bollocks

I don't think Kessler-Froch makes financial sense at an indoor arena. That's clearly a stadium fight.

Cleverly? I hope not. I cannot see Kessler being big enough to make an extended splash at 175.

Froch-Kessler 2 would be great.

Hearn isn't announcing the opponent until next tuesday it seems.

Poulard don't want none of Froch. Saying that why has there been no breakthrough in the supposed Froch-Kessler rematch. Kessler was ringside to view the Bute KO and mentioned his inclination to fight Froch in Nottingham shortly after.

Most fighters tell the media what the public wants to hear. Kessler knows if it's a close fight (which is likely) Froch would get the decision in the Nottingham.

Confirmed:

BOXING
Carl Froch, IBF super middleweight champion, will defend his belt at Capital FM Arena in Nottingham on November 17. His opponent will be revealed next week, though it is rumoured to be American boxer Kelly Pavlik.

Froch beat Lucian Bute to win his IBF title in Nottingham in May, and will fight a re-match in Canada next March.

BBC think it's Pavlik but personally I don't think they even have an opponent.

I will be AMAZED.

AMAZED

If Pavlik gets on a plane to nottingham.

I'll love it if he does though, sanctioned slaughter, Pavlik would get absoloutley brutalized

*edit

thats just a link to an old BBC article from weeks ago, highly doubt it's Pavlik

CARL Froch will defend his IBF super middleweight World title at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham on November 28, against an opponent to be named next week.

Froch won the belt in dramatic style at the Capital FM Arena in May, with a stunning fifth round KO win over Lucian Bute and will step back into the same ring this winter to defend the belt for the first time, with the man trying to take it from him unveiled on Tuesday August 28.


Andre Dirrell says Froch is No1 on his hitlist so maybe we'll be getting Froch vs Dirrell 2.
