Carl Froch dances for Sport Relief

LONDON (Feb 25th, 2010) WBC Super Middleweight Champion Carl “the Cobra” Froch will be swapping his boxing boots for dancing shoes this coming Saturday, ahead of defending his prestigious world title on April 24th against Mikkel Kessler in the Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament, when he makes his dancing debut for Sport Relief in front of millions of viewers live on BBC1 at 7.15pm..

Twinkle toes Froch will be joined on the stage by a team of champion boxers and all will be hoping to win over the viewers and, of course, the notoriously picky panel of judges in which comedy actor Miranda Hart, 2009 runner-up Paddy McGuinness and model and presenter Kelly Brook will be casting an eye over proceedings.

Froch said: “We are all hoping to put on a impressive display but the most important thing is to make loads of money for charity, so please watch the show, put your hands in your pockets and vote for us on Saturday“
