Comments Thread For: Froch vs. Stevenson in The Works For April, May

Sounds like a negotiating tactic on Hearn's behalf; trying to bully Kessler into signing.

How would that work? surely if Froch vacated he would receive less money from the Kessler deal as he would bring no belt to the table

Good match up make it happen Froch like to stay busy why Kessler fights bums in Denmark.

Hearn is basically telling Kessler's promotor Sauerland to sign the deal or else Stevenson gets the fight.

I can't tell what the issue that seems to separate the parties are. I find it odd. Everything seemed to be in place: Exemption from the IBF, UK venue in either London or Manchester and a 50/50 pursesplit.

Most odd I must say.

Froch vs either Kessler or Stevenson is must see TV. Carl Froch's competitive spirit is something to behold. This guy is always fighting the best. Yusaf Mack was his only soft touch in years!
