LOS ANGELES (AP) — Andre Ward’s bout with Carl Froch in the Super Six super middleweight tournament final has been rescheduled for Dec. 17.
Ward and Froch were slated to meet Oct. 29 in Atlantic City, N.J., before Ward sustained a serious cut during training last week.
Ward’s promoter, Dan Goossen, confirmed the rescheduled date Tuesday. The fight still will take place in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall.
Ward (24-0, 13 KOs), from Oakland, Calif., is the WBA’s 168-pound champion. Froch (28-1, 20 KOs), from Nottingham, England, holds the WBC super middleweight belt.
Ward and Froch dominated the six-man 168-pound tournament backed by premium network Showtime, eliminating favorites Mikkel Kessler and Arthur Abraham on the way to the final.
