World champion boxer Carl Froch says he will defend his WBC super-middleweight belt in his home city of Nottingham. It was thought the 31-year-old would return to America after beating Jermain Taylor in Connecticut in April. But Froch told BBC Radio Nottingham: "It looks like it's going to be in Nottingham which is a positive thing. "It's going to be early to mid-October so I've got plenty of time to shift a few pounds that I've put on after celebrating the last win." However, Froch does admit that it is difficult to find financial backing from television companies in Britain at the moment. He said: "ITV are struggling and Setanta have just pulled out of boxing so it's hard times for most sports, especially boxing. But we're positive we can get these fights shown in Britain." quoted from news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/8137757.stm

I hope he does well, nice to see a boxer who has more than a few braincells to rub together. WBC is definitely the title to have, and it was a great win over Jermain Taylor.
