Carl Froch's Super Six clash with mallet-fisted Armenian puncher Arthur Abraham on October 2 has been postponed.The 33-year-old Nottingham super-middleweight (pictured), who was set to meet the former IBF middleweight king in Monaco at the start of next month, has been struggling with a long-standing back problem and has been advised to take at least four weeks off training for the healing to take its course.
But it will come as a huge blow for ex-WBC champion Froch and those who were looking to make the autumn trip to the millionaires' playground.
A new date for the make-or-break clash between two men coming off defeats in their last bouts will be announced in the next week, with the re-arranged 12-rounder expected to take place in either November or December.
The victor will then advance to the final and cross swords with the man who emerges from the all-American WBA and WBC title fight between undefeated Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell, who lost to Froch in the opening bout but who subsequently defeated Abraham in his second.
