The Personal Life section needs a good tidy up/re-write —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.206.44.18 (talk) 09:15, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

His post match interview after the Groves fight was a disgrace, childish and disrespectful. Froch lost a lot of fans last night. Froch has since accepted a re-match (because the IBF have forced his hand, but he will tell you its becuase its what the fans want..).

Jewish?
Finally this page is exposed to American ethno-religous classification. Froch has never self-indentified as Jewish before. Simply put, Froch was not raised Jewish and cannot be Jewish. So he cannot be described as "English Jewish" or "British Jewish" or a "Jewish boxer". It isn't possible. It is only after his first fight in America when he beats an elite fighter that this happens so I assume it must be Americans doing all the talking.

I hope he doesn't use his heritage like a casino chip in America to get an audience. It would mean he has no regard for his nationality or the sacredness of his religion, whatever it may be. That is if he has any Jewish heritage at all (again it is only since his fight and in relation to the US that the newspapers have begun to describe him as Jewish - no doubt to rake in their own audience). Previous articles refer only to the fact that he has some Polish ancestry. Irregardless, the Guardian states that he has "eastern European Jewish heritage", that is enough only to assume he is "English of Jewish descent" or something similar. Unfortunately such a category does not exist on this website. --84.66.118.221 (talk) 09:57, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Furthermore, his religion and his heritage are his own concern and no one else's. Until he himself makes a statement about the subject we can only assume that he is English and therefore British; nothing else. People are inferring ideas to suit their own beliefs and that cannot be tolerated anywhere--84.66.118.221 (talk) 10:10, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Froch did mention his granparents are Polish (not Jewish), which supposedly gives him "genetical advantage": http://www.boxingnews24.com/2010/03/froch-crows-about-his-conditioning-and-physique/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.4.12.114 (talk) 09:42, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * He isn't Jewish at all. In his book autobiography, he even mentioned that his paternal grandfather was forced to serve in the German army during WWII, because of his own German ancestry. All Hallow&#39;s Wraith (talk) 19:45, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Fight Date
This isssue has come up a few times recently with UK fights that are being screened in the USA. The undercard starts on one date but the actual title fight takes place well after midnight and thrrefore technically the next day. In the case of the Dirrell fight the undercard started on the 17th but the actual fight was on the 18th. Is there a policy to follow on this? --LiamE (talk) 09:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well the Froch fight started at 2 a.m. on 18 October. The undercard fights are irrelevant. --Jimbo[online] 10:09, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Super middleweight: to hyphenate or not
Within a few days, an IP has tried three times (1, 2, 3) to introduce hyphens to the term "super middleweight" throughout the article. Observe that neither WP, BoxRec, IBF, WBA, WBC, The Ring nor TBRB include the hyphen. Therefore I will apply for page protection if the IP continues reverting my edits.
