Carl Froch says that it looks likely he will be fighting Mikkel Kessler in the spring.

IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch has revealed that talks over a spring date with Mikkel Kessler are progressing well.

The 'Cobra' is keen to avenge the defeat he suffered to the Dane in Herning just over two years ago.

Froch believes that Kessler would be open to a rematch in the UK, but admitted that his dream of fighting at the City Ground - home of Nottingham Forest - looks unlikely.

"We're making good ground with Kessler's team," Froch told Sky Sports News. "They're saying all the right things about wanting to fight and wanting to come over to the UK.

"Ideally I'd want it at Nottingham Forest's City Ground on the pitch, but realistically it's going to be very difficult to time it and I'm not sure he'd come to Nottingham anyway.

"But it's looking more likely that the fight with Kessler is definitely going to happen in May or June, it's just where. There's only one reason it won't and that's if Kessler doesn't want it, but I spoke to him myself last week and he said he does."

Andre Ward is the only other man to defeat Froch in his 32-fight career.
