The eagerly-anticipated October 2 Super Six clash between Nottingham's Carl Froch and German-based Armenian puncher Arthur Abraham will not be for the vacant WBC 12st belt.Former WBC champion Froch, 26-1 (20), had hinted that the all-European 12-rounder in Monaco would be for the strap that recent conqueror Mikkel Kessler relinquished when he was forced to pull out of the tournament due to injury.
However, the World Boxing Council announced that the other Super Six semi final, 2004 Olympic gold medallist and WBA super-middleweight king Andre Ward against another 2004 Olympian, bronze medal winner Andre Dirrell, will be for the vacant crown.
Froch's fight with the 31-1 (25) ex-IBF middleweight king will be an official final eliminator.
