FROCH DEFEAT COSTS PUNTER FIFTY GRAND
THE BIGGEST BOXING bet bookies William Hill have ever taken was a loser for a Hastings-based punter who staked £50,000 on Carl Froch to beat Mikkel Kessler at odds of 11/10
'Noone can ever remember the company taking a bigger bet on a boxing match and I can only imagine at the emotions he must have gone through during a fight which ebbed and flowed in either direction, building up to a frantic final round in which either man could have been knocked out' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Following Froch's first ever defeat and Kessler's redemption, Hills now make Ward 4/5 to win the Super Six competition of which this fight was a part, and also offer...5/1 Dirrell; 11/2 Abraham; 6/1 Kessler; 13/2 Froch; 20/1 Green.
FROCH'S NEXT fight is expected to be against Arthur Abraham, who suffered a shock defeat in his last Super Six outing. Hills make Froch 6/5 to win it, with Abraham at 8/13 and the draw a 25/1 shot.
