Promoter looking for suitable venue for May title fight
Carl Froch could be fighting IBF super-middleweight champion Lucien Bute in an outdoor arena following huge initial demand.
Froch will take on Bute in Nottingham on May 26 and promoterEddie Hearn is searching for a stage worthy of hosting the mouth-watering affair.
"Since announcing the fight, the phones, emails and tweets have been relentless," said Hearn."Fight fans and sports fans all want to see these two world beaters clash, and I want to make sure as many people as possible get the chance."It is important that Carl gets to fight in Nottingham and I am looking at two outdoor venues there."We are also looking at venues in London and Manchester but we are working with Nottingham City Council to try to keep the fight in Carl's hometown."Both boxers will be present at a press conference on Monday March 19 at the fight venue, while tickets will also go on sale that day at 2pm. - http://www1.skysports.com/
