Froch: Waiting to hear about new opponent

Unbeaten British and Commonwealth champion Carl Froch has been left fuming after his May 10 showdown with Denis Inkin fell through.
Froch was due to face the unbeaten Russian in an eliminator for the WBC super-middleweight title.
However Inkin has now pulled out of the fight for a second time.
Originally Froch was due to fight the 30-year-old on March 29, only for Inkin to withdraw after being left bedridden with a virus.
Now Inkin will miss the rescheduled bout after reportedly suffering a slipped disc in his back in training.
Froch's promoter Mick Hennessy is now trying to find a replacement opponent, with former IBF champion Alejandro Berrio tipped to be ready to step in.
Berrio has won 25 of his 26 victories by KO, and only lost his IBF title to the unbeaten Lucien Bute.
Froch is due to share the bill in Nottingham with WBC light-welterweight champion Junior Witter, who fights unbeaten American Timothy Bradley.

Enjoy Daherb says..."Good to see the loudest mouth in current times (Junior Witter) is increasing his profile against a bum.", Thats a bit harsh chap, Bradley is a replacement for Demitrius Hopkins, He is unbeaten (although his record isn't full of familiar names), fair game to the guy for steping up to the plate to face Witter with only a month or so's notice. Feel sorry for Frotch, i'm not his biggest fan by a long way but he has spent weeks training and studying Irkin only for Irkin to withdraw again, tbh I thought that it could be a cracking fight. Shame Lucien Bute isn't available as I'd love to see frotch have a go at him, Fingers crossed both British boxers do themselves and the country proud come May 10th.

junior witter has to fight bums because the so called top fighters are avoiding him [ricky hatton]

Bradley is hardly a bum and was about the only opponent Witter could get to fight him. Demetrius Hopkins pulled out of fighting Witter because "the money wasn't right". Talk about taking your chance at the title...

Good to see the loudest mouth in current times (Junior Witter) is increasing his profile against a bum.
