Carl Froch has offered George Groves a rematch after stopping his opponent in controversial circumstances in the ninth round in Manchester.

Froch offers beaten Groves a rematch

Froch recovered from the shock of being knocked to the canvas in the first round to retain his WBA and IBF super-middleweight titles when referee Howard Foster ended the contest.

The decision was met with widespread derision but Froch insists Foster was right to bring the bout to a conclusion.

Groves was ahead on points when Froch launched a barrage of punches in the ninth round which forced the referee to intervene.

Froch said afterwards: “Howard is a very experienced referee. George had his head low and I had a free shot and the referee had a split-second decision to make. It was dangerous and he had to put the safety of the fighter first.

“Let’s have a rematch and sort it out.

“As a fighter I have never had disrespect for him.

“As a person he was antagonistic towards me and was being disrespectful and rude. I’m a man of my word. He’s a good fighter and I’ve seen what he can do. He’s earned more respect from me in the fight.

“We had a chat, he gave me an answer and I respect him for that. I’ve got a little more respect for him as a fighter and a little more respect as a person.

“He got booed into the arena and he’s getting cheered out of it. But let’s not forget who won here. It was a very educated decision. I get stuck in and that’s why everybody loves me. I gave everyone entertainment and I can’t be held responsible for what the referee did.”

Meanwhile, Adonis Stevenson is 1/5 to win his fight against Tony Bellew who can be backed at 7/2.

Carl Froch wants Kessler decider

Carl Froch has confirmed that he wants a third fight with Mikkel Kessler.

Carl Froch wants Kessler decider

Carl Froch has admitted that he would like to fight Mikkel Kessler for a third time before looking to avenge his defeat to Andre Ward.

The 35-year-old Nottingham fighter won a unanimous decision against Kessler at the O2 Arena in London on 25th May and immediately stressed his desire for a rematch with WBA super-middleweight champion, Ward, who beat him via a unanimous points decision in December 2011 in Atlantic City.

I fancy a third fight with Kessler because I love fighting Mikkel. It’s my kind of fight. You know that he comes to fight.

However with Ward dragging his heels over fighting Froch in the UK, it seems ‘The Cobra’ has had a re-think and would now like to face Kessler for a third and final time before looking at a Ward bout.

Dane Kessler won on points in Copenhagen three years ago with Froch gaining revenge last month so the natural way forward is to have a deciding showdown.

“I fancy a third fight with Kessler because I love fighting Mikkel,” Froch said on Steve Bunce’s ESPN boxing podcast. “It’s my kind of fight. You know that he comes to fight.

“Andre Ward is a great fighter and you know you’re going to get a hard night’s work with a trickster.

“He’s a little magician in there doing what he does and he’s effective. He gets the result but he bores the pants off most people and when you fight him you pretty much know you’re going to get beat which is a terrible mindset to go into a fight with.

“You know it’s going to be difficult to win the fight against Ward depending on where it is and what referees you’ve got.

“Because I’ve boxed him before I know what to expect so I’d prepare differently, but a fight with Ward is a massive fight and one I want to avenge 100%.

“But I’d rather fight Kessler for the decider.”

Meanwhile, another man who has been beaten by Froch in the past, Lucian Bute, is scheduled to take on Jean Pascal for the WBC Diamond belt in December, with the fight having been delayed after Bute suffered a hand injury.

Bute is 6/5 to win the fight in Montreal on 7th December, with Pascal 4/6.

Carl Froch has set his sights on a rematch with Andre Ward after defeating Mikkel Kessler to become the WBA super-middleweight champion, adding to his IBF belt.

Carl Froch targets Ward revenge mission

The 35-year-old won a unanimous decision against Kessler at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday night and now wants a chance of revenge against Ward, who is the only man apart from Kessler to defeat Froch in the ring.

I went over to America and now let’s get him over to England.

Ward beat The Cobra an a unanimous points decision in December 2011 in Atlantic City and Froch would relish a chance to put the record straight.

He told Sky Box Office after another toe-to-toe battle with Kessler: “I said before this fight that the winner should really be concentrating on moving on and my only other loss was against pound-for-pound number two in the world Andre Ward.

“What a fantastic fighter he is and a great, great champion, but he is there to be beaten.

“But not over in America – let’s get him over here. I went over to America and now let’s get him over to England.”

Meanwhile, another man who has been beaten by Froch in the past, Lucian Bute, is scheduled to take on Jean Pascal for the WBC Diamond belt in December, with the fight having been delayed after Bute suffered a hand injury.

Bute is 6/5 to win the fight in Montreal on 7th December, with Pascal 4/6.
