WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch has planned out his career path for 2011. Froch will defend his title against Glen Johnson in the semi-finals of the Super Six Boxing Classic. That fight should take place in the first quarter of 2011. Froch expects WBA champion Andre Ward to be his opponent in the Super Six finals. He picks Ward to beat Arthur Abraham in the semi-finals.
Froch is a little worried about facing Ward in America. The final bout of the Super Six is going to take place in the United States. Froch would prefer to fight Ward in England, but he knows that won't happen.
"Fighting in America is definitely a problem because you're going over to America to fight an American, and he's a big star on American television and they want him to win the fight. At the end of the day it's down to the judges and my performance. I would much rather it be in England but that's not going to happen." Froch said to Sky Sports.
Froch is not overlooking Johnson, or Ward, but he already has his sights set on a big rematch with WBC/IBO light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal. Froch won a twelve round decision over Pascal in December of 2008. It's the only defeat on Pascal's record. Provided Pascal defeats Bernard Hopkins on December 18, Froch appears confident the rematch will happen.
"Once I get the Ward fight out of the way. I'm not looking past Johnson or Ward, but you may see me at light heavyweight in a super fight with someone like Jean Pascal, as long as he does his job with Hopkins. I'm the only blemish on Pascal's record and he's the best light heavyweight in the world," Froch said
