CARL Froch is looking in great shape just eight days ahead of his big fight with Mikkel Kessler at the O2 Arena in London.
The Cobra is looking to avenge a controversial defeat to the Dane just over three years ago.
The Post were invited to see the Nottingham world champion in training in the ring with his coach Rob McCracken at Phoenix ABC, where his boxing career began many years ago.
Froch, currently the IBF champion, is confident he can beat Kessler in the super-middleweight unification fight, saying: "It's time to get in there and do the business.
"Mentally I'm in the right place to fight, that's for sure.
"Fight night, I'll be like a lightning bolt ready to explode."
