LONDON (Aug. 22, 2011) - World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Middleweight Champion Andre Ward and World Boxing Council (WBC) Super Middleweight Champion Carl Froch kicked off a three-city international press tour today in the United Kingdom to formally announce The Final of the Super Six World Boxing Classic LIVE on SHOWTIME®, Saturday, Oct. 29 at 10 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) from the historic Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.

 

 

 

Ward and Froch, along with their respective promoters Dan Goossen and Eddie Hearn, and Ken Hershman, Executive Vice President and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports® and creator of the Super Six World Boxing Classic, spoke to the media at Matchroom Sport headquarters, a sprawling estate in Essex, just outside London.

 

 

 

Less than 10 weeks out from the culmination of the groundbreaking two-year tournament, Sky Sports, BBC, and a host of other sports and mainstream media gathered to see England's current No. 1 fighter face off against America's last Olympic Gold Medalist in boxing and discuss their upcoming high stakes clash. Here's what the men had to say:

 

 

 

Andre Ward

"This is my first time back in England since 2001 when I fought with the U.S. team against the U.K. I get quite a bit of fan mail from here so I know not every Brit is against me.

 

“This is what we, as fighters, dream of. It's what we fight for. This one is for all the marbles.

 

“When I started in this tournament everyone had questions about me. Everyone had doubts. Now, there are some people that say I'm the favorite, but I don't feel that way. I still have that chip on my shoulder.
