IBF: We Expect Carl Froch To Honor DeGale Mandatory

The IBF intends to enforce Carl Froch's mandatory Super middleweight title defence against fellow Briton James DeGale despite reports earlier today that Froch is on the cusp of securing a dream Las Vegas showdown against Julio Cesar Chavez Junior. The Express reported that a deal is close for a March 28th date earlier today, but the IBF belt won't be on the line according to Lindsey Tucker, the organisation's Championships Chairman.
