Boxing: Froch eyes Bute re-match
Under the terms of their contract, Froch is obliged to give Bute a rematch on his adopted home soil.
NOTTINGHAM:
Carl Froch cannot help but look ahead to what could lie in store for him after his world super-middleweight title defence against Yusaf Mack today. Froch, in his third reign as world champion, relieved Bute of the IBF belt in brutal fashion last May, overwhelming the Canada-based Romanian in five rounds. Under the terms of their contract, Froch is obliged to give Bute a rematch on his adopted home soil and Froch’s promoter Eddie Hearn expects the pair to clash again in Montreal. “There is a quick turn-around after this fight for the Bute rematch and then there is potentially a huge fight later next year against either Ward or Kessler,” said Froch.
