From his latest blog "With regards to the venue, there have been rumours with regards a blockbuster Sky double header with myself and David Haye sharing top billing. While that would be a tremendous move for the fans and really underline Adam Smith's intentions as the Sky head of boxing, we still have a few kinks to iron out of the scenario. Firstly, my Showtime contract stipulates that the semi-final must be held in America. There was talk that Johnson's team wanted it to be held at the Silverdome at Detroit in America, as they are paying handsomely to lure big fights to the premises. But the recent bout between two American starlets Tim Bradley and Devon Alexander didn't make a huge splash on tickets. So an Englishman and Jamaican may not break that trend, even though we'd make a better fight of it. The other ideas we're receptive to are possible venues in Las Vegas and Canada, both of which I'd have absolutely no problem with. If all the interested parties do relax their stance on the American soil aspect of the contract, then perhaps we may well join David Haye on at a London venue somewhere such as the O2 Arena. As I keep underlining, I'm pleased to be fighting anywhere but a big night in London would be a nice change for my loyal Cobra fans who have clocked up the air miles in the last couple of years. I've been from Connecticut, to Denmark and finally in Helsinki. So a British fight would be great from their point of view"
Good read. It would be great if it was on PPV here then a tape delay in the states. Its interesting from Skys point of view, I wonder if Smith feels that unless its Haye versus a Klitschko, its not PPV worthy by himself after the Harrison debacle?
Why oh why does my favourite fighter of this generation have to be a fackin red dog. At least support Notts County! I could stomach that. Back on topic: really, really hope this fight comes off at the 02 but not holding my breath, also wouldn't be to happy about lining Hayes pocket with more fools gold.
He's willing to fight in both Canada and the US against a dangerous opponent. Mr Froch, you are fast becoming my favourite boxer! The guy doesn't give a **** who he fights so long as it's the best, and he doesn't care where the fights take place. Every other fighter, please take note!!!
True warrior. Though I hope the fight is in England. Wouldn't be able to afford a trip to the States.
agree with everything said on this thread so much, apart from the bit about his support of notts forest i have no interest in the sport of pussys. Froch is a warrior win or lose he should be a rolemodel to all young boxers at the moment
