Mick Hennessy, promoter of WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch, wants to bring his fighter's next clash, with WBA champion Mikkel Kessler, to a venue in Britain. Froch won a close split decision over Andre Dirrell last Saturday in Nottingham. Kessler faces Andre Ward on November 21 in the challenger's backyard of Oakland. Kessler's bout with Froch is more than likely heading to Denmark, where Kessler is a mega-star.
Hennessy has already started negotiations for Froch-Kessler, attempting to move the fight from Denmark to Britain.
"It will be a blockbuster and could attract a crowd of 30,000," said Hennessy. "The fight will go to the venue that makes the most financial sense. And what's more, Carl will win it."
