“I have to beat Lucian on May 26 – losing in
front of my own fans is just something I cannot contemplate,” said
Froch. “They have travelled thousands of miles to watch me during the
Super Six, and now they have a massive World title fight
on their doorstep as a thank you – but it has to be a party and the
only way it will be is if I keep the title here.”

“There’s nothing like the Capital FM Arena when
it is full,” said Froch. “I was there on Monday night when it was empty
and cold, and I just thought that in two weeks time this will be packed
and the roof is going to come off. I know Lucian
gets great support in Montreal but I don’t think it compares to mine.
They are quiet and study the fight as it goes along, politely clapping
when he wins. My lot put all their energy behind every punch I throw and
chant Forest songs all the way. Really, they
support me how I know I have to box him – non-stop for as long as it
takes until the title is mine.”
