CARL Froch has warned Sky Sports 3D viewers to make room on the sofa when he boxes Yusaf Mack on November 17 – as he plans to smash the world title challenger through the screen on his way to victory.

The Cobra defends his IBF super-middleweight world title against the American at the Capital FM Arena at the top of Betfair's 'True Brit' bill.

"Now that I've watched back the training session in 3D, I can appreciate what it feels like to face Carl Froch in the ring," said Froch.

"It's a truly frightening prospect!

"Fans watching at home in 3D will feel every punch as if they were in the ring with me at the Capital FM Arena."

Robin Broomfield, Sky 3D operations manager, said: "Boxing in 3D is an amazing viewing experience.

"The 3D cameras provide a depth to the pictures that gives Sky viewers the feeling of being there at ringside.

"It has to be seen to be believed but once you see boxing in 3D you would not want to watch a bout any other way."

The world title defence tops a great night of action in Nottingham.

Froch's sparring partner Tony Bellew aims to take a step closer to a world title shot when he meets Argentine Roberto Bolonti for the WBC International Silver light-heavyweight title.

Exciting former GB stars Kal Yafai and Scotty Cardle step up to eight-round action on the bill, with former teammate Martin J. Ward also in action.

Another Team GB talent, Callum Smith, makes his pro debut.

Former European middleweight champion Kerry Hope boxes ahead of his Betfair's 'Christmas Cracker' showdown with Darren Barker next month, while Nottingham boxers Leigh Wood and Tyan Booth are also in action.

Unbeaten Wood has a new opponent in Dai Davies, while Booth meets Ryan Aston, who is looking to bounce back from defeat against Nottingham's Curtis Valentine in their Midland Area title clash in July.

Contrary to reports on a boxing web site, former Nottingham star Kirkland Laing, 58, is still alive and well.

Laing, badly injured in a fall in 2003, is apparently being cared for in a home near Hull.
