Carl Froch has admitted he fears another judging controversy when he faces Andre Ward in the Super Six final in Atlantic City on Saturday. Last weekend Amir Khan claimed poor refereeing cost him against Lamont Peterson in the American's home city of Washington DC.

"It's always a concern," Nottingham's Froch said. "I'm fighting an American in America. He's an Olympic gold medallist, he's the golden boy, he's undefeated, he's a great talent. He's young, he's good-looking, he speaks well – he's all the marketable things that a broadcaster like Showtime wants."

David Haye still expects to face Vitali Klitschko even though the Ukrainian has announced a fight against Dereck Chisora. "I can wait as long as it takes. [Klitschko] is 40 at the moment, I've just turned 31. If he was to leave it five years that's fine by me," Haye said.
