Carl Froch faces the fight of his life against Germany's Arthur Abraham in Monte Carlo on October 2nd.

Froch must win to guarantee a place in the semi-finals of the fantastic Super Six tournament - but it's also must-win for his Armenian-born opponent.

Froch said: "This is the fight of the Super Six so far - two former world champions, both with just one loss, and in both cases the defeats were controversial.

"I feel I was the victim of a home-town decision when I lost my WBC title and my unbeaten record to Mikkel Kessler in Denmark.

"Abraham was coming back into his fight with Andre Dirrell before getting disqualified. I've looked Abraham in the eye and I can tell that he is ready for our fight, and fearless - that suits me."

Going into the last round of the group stage all six boxers have the chance of reaching the semi-finals.

"The dream fight for me after Abraham would be a semi-final grudge match against Kessler - I will knock him out next time," insisted Froch.
