Froch Says Vegas Showdown With Chavez Jr. Is Close
Posted by: Terence Dooley on 1/8/2015 .

Nottingham’s Carl Froch has told Sky Sports News that he is confident of securing a Las Vegas showdown against Julio Cesar Chavez Junior at some point this year. “The Cobra” insisted that the Chavez fight is the one that he set his sights on following his KO win over George Groves at Wembley Stadium in May and the 37-year-old believes he will headline in Vegas this year.
“We’re nearly there, dare I say it, with the Chavez fight in Vegas which I’ve talked about since knocking out Groves,” said Froch, 33-2 (24). “I’m very optimistic that Eddie Hearn will be making an announcement very soon. That’s the fight that takes me to Las Vegas, it’s the fight I’ve been calling out for since November 2013 so it’s dragged on a fair while. Between beating Mikkel Kessler and fighting Chavez I’ve obviously had the two epic fights with Groves.
“Chavez is a great fighter, one loss in 51 fights, and he’s coming up to a weight he’ll be more comfortable at. That carries dangers and question marks—is he good enough at super-middle? Have I still got what it takes to go 12 rounds because it looks like Chavez can survive? He can get through 12 rounds with anybody, he’s very tough like his dad was. It’s an intriguing fight—it’s a ‘pick ‘em’. It’s not ‘Froch is definitely going to win’ or ‘Chavez is definitely going to win’.”
The fight has polarised Froch’s British fanbase, with many calling for a domestic showdown with IBF mandatory challenger James DeGale. Chavez, though, ticks plenty of boxes and is the logical choice for a Vegas fight, especially if they can secure U.S. TV for the event.
Selling out Wembley and doing well on Sky’s PPV arm is one thing, securing American TV backing in Vegas is quite another, as Ricky Hatton will tell you, so Froch has every right to gun for Chavez, 48-1-1 (32) wth 1 NC. However, his opponent is currently mired in a dispute with Bob Arum, who insists that he still has control of the 28-year-old’s career.

Only one's that matter:
RING World Champion, IBF World Champion, WBC World Champion, WBO World Champion, and WBA World Champion (but only if there is no WBA Super World Champion. If there is a WBA Super World Champion, then he is the REAL Champion and the World Champion is just another "belt holder").
All the other "belts/championships" are for nothing but show.
