Carl Froch, known as 'the Cobra', was brought up tough on a Nottingham housing estate. His dad encouraged him to start boxing at just nine years old, thinking it would keep him out of trouble. He obviously talented, but as teenager he lost direction, taking up a series of dead-end jobs and getting into pub fights. His family knew that what he needed was to get back in the ring. And once Carl returned to boxing, he never looked back. Carl Froch is now Britain's world champion at super-middleweight with an unbeaten 25 fights (with 20 KOs). His greatest fights have already gone down in boxing history, culminating in his defeat of the American Jermain Taylor in defence of WBC title in April last year. Knocked down for the first time in his career, he was behind on everyone's scorecard but his own, until, with just 14 seconds of the fight to go, he came back in spectacular fashion with a stunning knock out. He is currently a contender for the title in the innovative new Super Six Boxing Classic, which pits the best six fighters in the world against each other in a round-robin tournament. Now with two wins and a loss, The Cobra follows Britain's most exciting boxer every step of the way as he prepares for, and fights, the most important bouts of his life. Carl Froch's revealing story from inside the high-stakes world of boxing pulls no punches, from his first discovery of his talent to his ascent to World Champion.
