| BUTE CALL ... Carl is ready for action |
CARL FROCH will have to get on his bike straight away if his bid to
recapture the world super-middleweight title is successful tomorrow.
The former champion fights in home town Nottingham for the first time
in three years when he takes on IBF belt holder Lucian Bute at the
city’s Ice Arena.
Canadian Bute, 32, has negotiated an immediate rematch should he suffer the first defeat of his career.
Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed: “We couldn’t agree to this first fight in Canada because Carl is overdue a fight at home.
“But we are committed to the return over there if Carl wins.
“Also there is so much interest in Canada there could be a second fight there whatever happens.”
Froch, 34, said: “Bute is not proven. This is the first time he’s fought away from home. He’s had a protected career.”
