Great Britain give Froch some love. Froch also has some thoughts about Amir Khan.

WBC super Middleweight Champion, Carl Froch has received a few awards from his homeland. The British Boxing Board of Control has awarded Froch as their Boxer of the Year. They also named his battle with Jean Pascal as their Fight of the Year.

The awards didn't end there. BBC East Midlands Sports honored Froch as the Personality of the Year for 2009. Says Froch, "Last year was great, this year's been fantastic and next year's going to be even better."
Carl Froch will fight Mikkel Kessler during the second round of the Super Six World Boxing Classic on April 17th.

Froch also has recently given some thoughts regarding his "feud" with Amir Khan. During a recent interview with Livefight.com, the following occured:

iLF: Last question and it's about Amir again. Do you respect that Khan has comeback from the KO loss ?




Yes definitely, because it was a brutal loss. I admit that the people he's come back against have not been top fighters, but they are still semi decent for him to fight. I dont visualise him as a world champion yet though because he's fought nobody world class yet. 


But when you talk about the word 'respect' - In boxing, respect is earned and not handed out. If Amir is fighting the top 5 of his division and winning then he deserves plenty of credit and we shall wait and see. That goes for any belt holder. 


Without sounding hollow - I wish him all the best and hope he does the bizz. Moving up in weight may help his punch resistance and having Freddie Roach in his corner will do him no harm. 


And i'll be the first to give him a high five if he does.


 Is that what they do in L.A ? (laughs)
