By Scott Gilfoid: Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport is saying that HBO has four names that they’d like for Hearn’s fighter IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch (31-2, 22 KO’s) to fight on their network in the United States and those are as follows: Andre Ward, Gennady Golovkin, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Mikkel Kessler.
Hearn says he wants to match Froch up against Ward next year in the spring. As for the other names, Hearn is planning on putting Froch back in with Kessler before the end of this year if Kessler will agree to a third fight against Froch. Kessler just lost to Froch by a 12 round unanimous decision in their rematch last month on May 25th in London, UK.
