Carl Froch is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on July 2, 1977 in Nottingham, England, United Kingdom. The Cobra, also known as “The Cobra”, was a well-known figure for his great chin and entertaining style. He held IBF, WBA and WBC titles.
He defeated Jermaine TAYLOR by scoring a TKO win. In the 12th round, he knocked him to the floor and then poured on a torrent to get to his feet. This forced a referee to stop the fight.
Froch began boxing at the Phoenix ABC in Gedling, Nottingham. As an amateur, he won two ABA middleweight titles in 1999 and 2001 and a bronze medal at the 2001 World Amateur Boxing Championships before turning pro and having his first pro fight in March 2002. As an amateur, Froch lost to American Peter Manfredo Jr.
Froch made his debut at the age of 25 in March 2002. He fought at the York Hall in Bethnal Green, London against veteran 36 year old journeyman Michael Pinnock (4–52–8, 2 KOs), who weighed 10 pounds more than Froch, in a scheduled six-round bout. Froch won the fight via a fourth-round technical knockout. Froch fought a further four times that year, winning them all with three coming by first-round knockout against Ojay Abrahams, Darren Covill and Mike Duffield and one victory coming by a points decision win against Paul Bonson.
He was in a relationship to model and former Miss Maxim Rachael Crottingley.
