WBC super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has established himself as one of the world's most exciting fighters following back-to-back thrillers against Jean Pascal and Jermain Taylor.

But the Cobra insists that the best is yet to come.

And the Nottingham fighter has diaries to prove it.

"I'm very methodical in my approach to my training and I've kept a diary since I turned pro," said Froch, who kicks off his Super Six campaign against unbeaten American Andre Dirrell at the Trent FM Arena on October 17.

"I log every run, every sit up, every sparring session I've ever had and how I've felt mentally after each session.

"Basically the diaries record every punch I've thrown in my pro career.

"Every training session gets recorded and it means I can look back and see how I'm progressing, not just through an individual training camp but through my entire career.

"I've compared the times and stats with stuff I've been doing in the gym through the years and I'm still improving on them so I'm getting better and better.

"I honestly don't believe I've reached my peak yet and the diaries back that up.

"I've already filled seven diaries and I plan on filling quite a few more before I hang up my gloves.

"I was a late developer and turned pro quite late so I believe that I still have plenty of time left at the top.

"I live the life that a top-class athlete should lead. I don't abuse my body and I'm always within a few pounds of my fighting weight and I believe all those things are crucial to extending your career."
