Froch to take on Barney in July
Carl Froch
"The Cobra" vows to be 50% better
British super middleweight champion Carl Froch is set to defend his title against Matthew Barney on 9 July.

Fighting at his local Nottingham Arena, "The Cobra" is confident of beating Barney, who lost in March to European light heavyweight champ Thomas Ulrich.

"He's talked a good fight but he'll suffer from a twitchy bottom when he steps through the ropes," said Froch.

"And I don't blame him - I'd hate to face me. I have just destroyed world ranked Henry Porras."

Froch said he would be even better prepared for Barney than he was for Porras.

"This time I'm aiming to add another 50% onto my game - and that's a frightening proposition for any boxer.�

"Nottingham is my house and this fight is on my terms. I'm not going to give him a chance to run and he won't have time to spoil this fight.

�He's getting a single, express ticket to Row Z.�
