    Sorry that you have to wake up to this. Cut sustained in sparring has led to him needing 7 stitches.

    New date to be announced soon.

    Damn, the dude can be hit! Unless it was a trademark headbutt.

    So, all Froch has to do is re-open the cut and we have a united champion on our shores

    depends on how bad the cut is, 7 stitches it says.

    it could be late November Early December.

    Froch isn't getting any younger. Wonder if he can bump the Ward fight into the New Year and keep the October date, take a voluntary, make some cash and get to fight at home..? Or am I being overly-optimistic that this can be put together at that notice?
