On November 27, former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch will face Arthur Abraham in the third and final group stage bout of the Super Six tournament.
While both fighters have already secured a spot in the semi-finals, there is still the vacant WBC belt on stake. A title Froch lost to Mikkel Kessler in his last fight.
“The boxing match with Abraham is obviously a top- level fight. It’s a world-class fight. The main exciting thing right now is that the WBC title is on the line. That’s a real big deal,” Froch said.
“Abraham is definitely afraid of me. I think Arthur Abraham has got a lot of issues in his head he needs to deal with.
My preparation is going very well. I’m ahead of schedule because of the injury. I did eight to ten weeks before the injury, before the fight was delayed to November. So things are very good now. I have very strong sparring partners as well. They are mimicking Arthur Abraham brilliantly. So I’ll be more than ready to fight someone like him.
I’ve got a lot of attributes that Abraham hasn’t got: general ring-class, speed, skills and power. He is a one-dimensional fighter. You know what you get with him. Every time he fights, he does the same thing. He’s quite basic and crude. You know, styles decide. Obviously, I got more experience at super middleweight and I’m bigger and stronger because I’m a natural super middleweight since the start of my career nine years ago. He’s a middleweight and not a natural 168 pound fighter and like I said before he’s 1-1 at super middleweight. Now he’s ready for his second loss in his third fight. I got the tools to beat him, definitely,” fightnews.com cited Froch as saying.
