whats the info on froch vs kessler

April 17th I beleive. Copenhagen is a great place but booze is very expensive.

your looking at £4-5 a pint.

 

We got £51 return with easyjet from gatwick.

And Hotel £78 for two nights. All the info is on the thread 'who's going to copenhagen?'

 

Heard more like £7 these days mate - aint drinking too much this year anyway ha

Were booking up end of the month, could do with knowing more re tickets though

 

Actually, last I heard was that Carl is unhappy because the fight doesn't look set to be in Copenhagen after all.

Bit of a ball ache.

if thats true not good for all those booked in Copenhagen. Herning is a 4 hours train from there.

 

Yeah, I was worried something like this would happen. It's been mentioned in interviews before so I've been waiting before booking anything and, though it's not concrete, I'm glad I did. Would be a big shame if it does happen in Herning.

 

Already booked flights, suppose to fly back at 10 on the sunday hope Hennesey can get it in Copenhagen. It will be a big boost to Froch to have a good British crowd there

 

From the BBC today:


Carl Froch wants world title fight in Danish capital

World champion Carl Froch is battling to stage the next defence of his title in Copenhagen, rather than the smaller Danish city of Herning.

Nottingham fighter Froch is due to defend his WBC super-middleweight title against Mikkel Kessler on 17 April.

The final venue is yet to be confirmed, but Froch is keen to fight Denmark's Kessler actually in the Danish capital.

"That's where it needs to be," Froch told BBC Nottingham. "I'm battling the politics behind closed doors."

Herning is 150 miles away to the east of Copenhagen. And Froch admits: "For the Danes it's easy to get to, but for the Brits and for the Cobra fans it's going to be really difficult, so they'll probably stay and watch it at home."

Froch retained his world title against Andre Dirrell at the Nottingham Arena in October 2009, his first fight in the new "Super Six" tournament.

But Kessler was beaten by Andre Ward the following month after a unanimous technical decision in California, and therefore lost his WBA belt.

It would not be the first time that Froch defends his title outside of the UK.

He went to the United States to beat Jermain Taylor in a dramatic final round knock-out in Connecticut in April 2009.

 

We have flights from Manchester booked, with decent flight times... I am sacrificing going to see City v United as I can't get a flight back in time... They better not switch this fight...:nono
