Kessler v Froch II confirmed for May 25 at the O2 in London

IBF super-middleweight champion Froch, 35, and 33 year-old WBA belt holder Kessler met previously in 2010, with the Dane coming out on top in a closely-fought contest on his home soil and has now agreed to travel to the United Kingdom to battle ‘The Cobra’ on his home turf.

If Nottingham-based Froch can turn the tables on the ‘Viking Warrior’ and level up the series at one apiece later this year, then a rubber-match will be on the cards towards the back end of 2013 to decide an overall winner in the trilogy.

The May meeting is also be expected to be a pay-per-view affair.

Tickets for the fight will go on sale from the O2’s website – www.theO2.co.uk – and on 0844 856 0202 at midday on Monday February 4 as the pair meet at a press conference to formally announce the blockbuster rematch. Tickets cost £40, £60, £80, £100, £150, £200, £300 and ringside seats are priced at £500.

Matchroom Sport will sell exclusive VIP Gold packages at £1,000 available from www.matchroomboxing.com and on 01277 359900. To register for alerts on ticket sales please visit www.frochvkessler2.com
