By Scott Gilfoid: WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) seems to have accepted that his Super Six fight against Glen Johnson will be taking place in the United States instead of the venue where he wanted it, which was his home city of Nottingham, England.

Instead of sulking and acting out the way some fighters would when they’re not getting their way, Froch has decided to accept the venue and be an adult about it. I like this. This is really for the best. There are a lot of Jamaican and English transplants in the area and many of them will likely flock to see the Froch-Jonson bout on June 4th. I’m so happy Froch is taking this with a stiff upper lip. I wouldn’t want to see a bunch of bellyaching over something as minor as a venue, especially after Froch previously said he had problem fighting in the U.S.

Froch had this to say about the venue at thisisnottingham.co.uk: “I had to explore every avenue for it to be local. But every cloud has a silver lining and hopefully the fight will go out live on Sky Sports. Plus, Atlantic City is only an hour from the Big Apple and there are lots of beaches and resorts next door to the venue, the weather in June is very good out there.”

Atlantic City is a sensational venue. You won’t have to worry about the gloomy cloud-filled skies in the UK and will actually be able to see some nice sun. There will be a lot of things for boxing fans to do and see in Atlantic City, gambling and all kinds of fun for the fans and their families. This is a really good place for this fight and it will leave both fighters and their fans happy.
