Froch Made Mandatory WBC Contender
Froch Made Mandatory WBC Contender
Undefeated Carl Froch has been installed as the mandatory WBC super-middleweight title contender.
In a letter released to Carl Froch today the World Boxing Council confirmed: ’The WBC Board of Governors has reviewed the situation concerning your case and the two unfortunate cancellations of the final elimination fights that were scheduled to determine the mandatory contender of the super middleweight division of the WBC.
’The WBC has voted unanimously to appoint you as mandatory contender of the division.
’We would like to wish you the best of luck and once again congratulate you for your exemplary loyalty to the World Boxing Council.’
Russian co challenger Dennis Inkin twice pulled out of a final elimination bout with Froch to determine who is is the official challenger to champion Joe Calzaghe. Though, by no means confirmed it appears Calzaghe, who defeated Bernard Hopkins in a light-heavyweight bout a week ago, could now face Roy Jones Jr at 175lbs. If the aforementioned does happen Froch could find himself fighting for the vacant title.
