From the Telegraph: Froch has significant opportunity

Share this story

Carl Froch can enhance his legacy significantly with a victory over IBF super middleweight titleholder Lucian Bute on Saturday night in Nottingham, England, Froch's hometown.

If Nottingham hard man Carl Froch is looking for a marquee fight to define the closing chapters of his career, then there is no better time than Saturday night to deliver against Lucian Bute.

The undefeated Romanian, who is based in Quebec, has held the IBF super middleweight title for five years, with nine defenses. There are theories that Bute has been given the upper hand given that all but one of those contests has taken place in his adopted Canadian state.
