Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler will meet in "one of the biggest fights in world boxing" this year after agreeing an explosive rematch on British soil.

Nottingham IBF super-middleweight champion Froch suffered a contentious defeat against Kessler in a classic in Denmark in 2010. He has always craved revenge and is likely to get his chance in London, possibly at the O2 Arena on 25 May.

"It's on – the biggest fight that can be made in British boxing," said promoter Eddie Hearn. "The first was an epic battle and Froch-Kessler II will be one for the ages."
