WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine belts on the line

Saturday, October 29, 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, live on Sky Sports from the historic Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.
When the Super Six began, neither undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KOs), of Oakland, California, nor his World Boxing Council (WBC) counterpart, Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KOs), from Nottingham, were among the favourites.
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.
The winner of the 12-rounder will claim super middle supremacy, both world championship belts, The Ring magazine championship and the coveted Super Six World Boxing Classic Cup.
"Going into a fight of this magnitude, I expect the toughest fight of my career," said Ward.
Froch echoed Ward's comments regarding the enormity of the Super Six Final. "Not only is it for two world titles, but it's for the tournament trophy and The Ring belt is also on the line," said the WBC champion. "It makes this the biggest and the most prestigious fight to happen for as far back as I can remember.
