Carl Froch is due to announce his next opponent tomorrow and judging by the names who have already said no, it isn't going to be an Andre Ward or a Mikkel Kessler.
Froch's promoter Eddie Hearn thought he had secured American Yusaf Mack for Froch's first defence of his IBF super-middleweight title on November 17.
But Mack, who lost to Tavoris Cloud when he challenged for the IBF light-heavyweight title last year, got cold feet, leaving Hearn to begin his search again.
Nicholson Poulard's camp claim Hearn approached them, but they also turned down the payday because the Canadian couldn't slim down to 168lbs.
So it doesn't sound like Hearn has been left with many credible options for Froch's big night at Nottingham's Capital FM Arena.
