Andre Ward vs. Carl Froch,
WBA/WBC super middleweight unification
Saturday, Dec. 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
(delayed on the West Coast) from the historic Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.
The first matches took place on October 17, 2009. After three group stages, two semi final matches were set. Ward defeated Abraham in the first, held on May 14, 2011. Froch defeated Johnson in the second, held on June 4, 2011. After Froch defeated Johnson, he was elevated to the number 2 rating by Ring Magazine. With Ward being rated number 1, the finals will pit the number 1 and number 2 fighters against one another. This allows for the Ring title vacancy to be filled at the tournament finals.[1]
The stakes couldn’t be higher, the drama more intense. On December 17, two confident reigning world champions–one from America, the other from Europe–will collide in the eagerly awaited Super Six World Boxing Classic Final, a World Championship Unification. When the Super Six began, neither undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KOs), of Oakland, Calif., nor his World Boxing Council (WBC) counterpart, Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KOs), of Nottingham, England, were among the favorites. But through career-defining fights and remarkable drama both in and out of the ring, Ward and Froch have persevered and emerged as prominent members of boxing’s exclusive Pound-for-Pound list and are now poised for global stardom. Tickets are $302, $202, $102 and $51. All tickets purchased for the original event date will be honored on Dec. 17. If ticket holders are not able to attend on Dec. 17, refunds are available at the point of purchase.
