Carl Froch confident of securing bout with Julio César Chávez Jr
Carl Froch has revealed that negotiations over his dream showdown with Julio César Chávez Jr in Las Vegas are nearing completion.
Froch, the WBA and IBF super-middleweight champion, has sought a meeting with Chávez Jr since stopping George Groves for the first time in November 2013 and is now confident that promoter Eddie Hearn will deliver the fight.
“Dare I say it, but we’re nearly there with the Chávez fight in Las Vegas which we’ve long talked about,” the Nottingham fighter told Sky Sports News.
“After knocking out Groves I was instantly talking about the Chávez fight happening. It’s nearly there and I’m very optimistic that Eddie Hearn will be making an announcement very soon.”
