6'1" Froch, nicknamed "the Cobra," is unbeaten in 24 professional fights, with 19 knockouts.
He turned professional late on at the age of 25. He stated on ITV that despite his age he is a fresh 30 year old and that he can go on for many more years to come and that he has not hit his peak yet, after presenter Jim Rosenthal asked if he was a little old to be challenging for a world title.
Froch, who is trained by Robert McCracken and managed by Mick Hennessy, is the reigning WBC World super-middleweight champion. Having been rated the number 1 challenger at super-middleweight by the WBC previously and then demoted to second, he has recently regained his position as number 1 challenger and defeated Jean Pascal to take the title that Joe Calzaghe vacated when he moved up to light-heavyweight to fight Bernard Hopkins.[3]
In 2004, Froch won the vacant British Championship. He has defended it against Brian Magee, Damon hague, and a number of other contenders, earning him a Lonsdale Belt outright in the process and fulfilling a long-held ambition.[citation needed]
On the 9 November 2007 at the Nottingham arena he stopped veteran ex-world champion Robin Reid, after which Reid retired.
