    Carl Froch returns to Sky Sports on the 4th of June to defend his WBC Super Middleweight title against Glencoffe Johnson.

    Froch will fight on Sky Sports for the first time since he entered the Super Six World Boxing Classic in 2009 winning widespread acclaim and admiration.

    He has taken on and beaten some of the hardest opposition in his division, including wins over Andre Dirrell, Jermain Taylor, and most recently Arthur Abraham.
    The clash between Froch and Johnson at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City is also the first semi-final in the Super Six series. Victory over Johnson means Froch will face the winner of the other semi-final between Andre Ward and Arthur Abraham in the Super Six World Boxing Classic Final at Madison Square Gardens early in 2012.

    "I'm delighted to be bringing my marquee fights to Sky Sports in glorious HD," said Froch.

    "Kessler and I put on the best fight so far, and my last outing against the big-punching Arthur Abraham was probably the best individual performance too. To shine in such a world class tournament shows my pedigree.

    "Glencoffe Johnson is a tough, experienced operator who has shared the ring with Dawson, Hopkins, Tarver and knocked out a young Roy Jones. I'm going to run straight through him and book my spot in the final then grab that Super Six trophy with both gloves and bring it back to Great Britain.

    "You're about to see the 'Cobra' in full swing and I can't wait. Sky Sports viewers are in for a treat!"

    Speaking about the fight against Johnson, Sky Sports boxing commentator Jim Watt said: "Carl Froch is the fighter's fighter, I'm delighted that he is back on Sky Sports.

    Like, I'm glad about this and all but it's two years later than it should have been really. Froch only has Fat Mick to blame.

    Love it!

    I really hope Froch beats Johnson and then Ward to win it now.

    The guy deserves some exposure and more money, hopefully he wins the Supersix and then has a massive PPV fight with Bute or the winner of Pascal/Hopkins ....

    Can sombody tell me the fixtures column that Sky Sports have up on their boxing website, is that their live fight schedule or just upcoming fights in general because i noticed today they have Ward-Abraham down. Like i mean they don't have say Geale-Sylvester or Arce-Vasquez down so was just wondering if its for fights they are showing or what.
