Froch vs. Kessler II

Just over three years after Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler engaged in a thrilling war best remembered for its sheer brutality the two men will meet once more at the O2 Arena tonight.

Kessler edged the 'Cobra' on that occasion but travels to London as a slight underdog with the bookies, with both men putting their world super-middleweight titles on the line in a hotly-anticipated unification clash.

For Froch tonight's marquee clash represents the defining moment of his career after a hellacious run of nine consecutive world title fights.

Nottingham's favourite son has forged a reputation as an uncompromising, aggressive fighter with the stamina and skills to match his all-action style.

Kessler too deserves to be considered an elite . . .
