Froch: Fight set for May 21
|
Froch, from Nottingham, also said that he is lobbying to have the fight take place in England but nothing has been settled. Quebec also was rumored to be a possible site. The date for the other semifinal, Andre Ward vs. Arthur Abraham, has not been set. Dan Goossen, Ward's promoter, said only that he is working on a date in May. Abraham, who has lost his last two fights in the tournament, has scheduled a tune-up bout on Feb. 12 in Germany. No opponent has been selected. BBC Radio Five Live cited rumors that the representatives of Ward and Abraham are having difficulty agreeing upon a site. Ward's two fights in the tournament have taken place in his native Oakland, Calif. Only one of Abraham's three fights were in Germany, where he lives. |
