    I can't find a schedule anywhere, including the showtime boxing website. Also, on boxrec, it doesn't even give it. I feel like the first round of fights have been determined and this should be easy to find. I am looking for the first round match-ups, dates, and locations if anyone can help me out.

    Here's the first round:

    I don't believe that it's set in stone after the first round quite yet. There was a lot of speculation as to the rest of the schedule, but I don't remember seeing anything official.

    That explains it, also with Kessler fighter a warm-up fight I guess we have to see how that plays out before we set his first round match-up in stone.

    Thanks for this link though!

    Froch's line-up was released on a British channel, ITV4, the other day. These are his first 3 scheduled fights:

    V Dirrel in Nottingham
    V Kessler somewhere in Europe (maybe a Danish football stadium)
    V Abraham somewhere in Europe (possible Nottingham FC's stadium)

    The Abraham vs. Taylor and Froch vs. Dirrell bouts on 17th October are scheduled at 21.00 and 22.00 respectively, though of course they are in different locations. That's UK times, so no way will it be PPV Stateside.
