Abraham-Froch bout sanctioned for WBC titled

Abraham-Froch bout sanctioned for WBC titled
October 6, 2010 - 11:08 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - Arthur Abraham’s super six series fight against Carl Froch in Helsinki on November 27 will now be for the WBC world super-middleweight title.

Froch had protested against the other bout in that tournament, between Americans Andre Ward and Andre Dirrel, being sanctioned for that world crown, Daily Mail reported.

The success of this appeal gives real significance to the Nottingham cobra’s battle with the big-hitting Abraham despite the descent into chaos of the made-for-TV super series.

The series has resurrected Glen Johnson as the second replacement for this made-for-TV tournament. Scheduling Johnson to fight the first substitute, Allan Green, who has already been defeated, is unlikely to affect the top-four placings.

Andre Ward, Andre Dirrell and Abraham look assured of reaching the semi-finals, while Froch will probably go through even if he loses to the heavy-hitting Abraham in Helsinki.
