The Fans Have Voted: Who should Broner face next?

By Jack Price - @BoxingOpinions1


In the aftermath of another top night of boxing, one man is still on everybody's mind, Adrien 'The Problem' Broner. The brash youngster became a 3-weight world champion at the age of 23, stepping up two weight divisions and winning the WBA welterweight title via split decision against Paulie Malignaggi.

What next for Mayweather?


By Adam Canavan @Adam_Canavan


Right now Floyd Mayweather Jr. is in the hotbed of boxing talent in the 140-154lb weight range. So, after a dominant display against welterweight contender Robert 'The Ghost' Guerrero (117-111 on all three of the Judge's scorecards), the world is well and truly his oyster.

So who who will Boxing's P4P king face next? Well firstly there are a few that can be ruled out straight away: Sergio Martinez is not a option after the injuries he sustained after a tough fight with British Middleweight Martin Murray will keep him out of the ring for the rest of the year, Tim Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez will be fighting each other in the same month as Mayweather's next fight, possibly even the same day, and Manny Pacquiao is otherwise occupied with Brandon Rios in November, which means the biggest possible fight of this generation, once again, can not and will not happen. But now lets look at the possible opponents for Floyd.

Froch opponent announcement delayed until next week...

Froch with his IBF title.
The next opponent for IBF super-middleweight champion and British fan favourite Carl Froch was expected to be announced today (August 20th) but it has now been delayed to Tuesday August 28th. 

It has been confirmed that he will fight on November 17th, and the venue will be the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham. But we will have to wait a little longer to find out who he will be fighting on that highly anticipated date.  

There has been plenty of rumours as to who it will be but there has been no little hints or inklings from Froch or his promoter Eddie Hearn. As the date draws closer it seems like the most likely opponent is Kelly Pavlik. The American has made his controversial thoughts on Froch known and has repeatedly said that he wants to fight the 35-year old. Mikel Kessler and Thomas Oosthuizen have been almost completely ruled out as potential opponents and the only other notable fighter that has been mentioned is fellow brit James DeGale. Maybe it could be just a walkover fight for him but as you all know, this is very unlikely for 'The Cobra'. 

Tickets for the fight will go on sale at 3pm on the day that the opponent is announced.
