English fighter down to evens to defend WBC super middleweight title

Ladbrokes are reporting interest from punters in backing English fighter Carl Froch to successfully defend his WBC super middleweight title tomorrow night.

The Nottingham born boxer is now evens, from 11/10 to defeat the Dane, who remains the 8/11 favourite with Ladbrokes.

Kessler is 3/1 to reclaim the belt he lost to Joe Calzaghe, in a unification fight, by KO, and 15/8 to win by judges decision.

Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said:

“The initial odds-against about Froch proved too tempting for punters, who have backed the Nottingham man to inflict a third career defeat on the former WBA king.”
