Press Release: Carl Froch is waiting in line for the main prize at 168 pounds: a fight against the winner of Mikkel Kessler-Joe Calzaghe. Meanwhile, "The Cobra" defends his British championship against former world titlist Robin Reid in his home city of Nottingham on a Hennessy Sports show on November 9, 2007. Sky Sports will televise live. Froch, who is unbeaten in 21 fights with 17 KOs, is angling towards becoming the WBC mandatory contender. Meanwhile, Colombian Alejandro Berrio makes the first defense of the IBF belt against Canadian Lucian Bute in Montreal on Friday-- but Froch claims he's not interested. He believes the division’s top three elite fighters are in action next month when he takes on Reid a week after Calzaghe-Kessler in Cardiff on November 3. “The three best super-middleweights in the world are in action within a week of each other in Britain and I should face the winner of Calzaghe-Kessler early next year,” said Froch. “I would stop either of Berrio or Bute, but it’s the WBC title and either Calzaghe or Kessler who I am going for.
