Andre Ward beat Carl Froch with a broken hand in their title fight.
Ward defeated Froch despite injury

Andre Ward defeated Carl Froch in the Super Six super-middleweight final despite breaking his hand in two places.

The American injured his hand in training but battled on to add the WBC belt to his WBA crown with a one-sided points win on December 17.

"We had to go through with the fight," Ward told ESPN.

"I was extremely concerned the whole week of the fight, but I knew I couldn't pull out.

"Early on the adrenaline was working. But in the sixth round, when I hit him on top of the head, that is when I really hit a wall in terms of the pain. But I had no choice. We got through it."

Promoter Dan Goossen confirmed that Ward suffered a double fracture before the fight.
