Trying to convince Joe to fight him instead of B-Hop

Press Release: Carl Froch has invited Joe Calzaghe to be guest of honour at his British super middleweight title showdown against Robin Reid at the Nottingham Arena on Friday, November 9, 2007. Undefated Froch, if he wins, wants to be world champion Calzaghe’s next opponent rather than Bernard Hopkins. The Nottingham boxer has also declared he will carry on Britain’s domination of the super-middleweight division after Calzaghe retires. “I’m asking Joe to be guest of honour at the show on Friday after an impressive performance from him at the weekend,” said Froch. “Then Joe can get a close up look at me and realise why I will give much more of a fight than a 42-year-old man like Hopkins. Me and Joe would be a blockbuster and generate a lot of interest and money. If he does go up to light-heavyweight, then I will clean up the vacant belts and get the world title fight I know I am ready for after beating Reid.
