O2 Arena, London, England - Carl Froch (31-2, 22 KOs) unified the WBA/IBF super middleweight titles with a twelve round unanimous decision over Mikkel Kessler (46-3, 35 KOs) in a highly anticipated rematch. The scores were 118-110, 116-112 and 115-113. Froch was far more active and had a very active jab for most of the fight. Kessler was sharper and targeted the body when he saw openings. Kessler cut and rocked Froch in the eleventh round, but couldn't finish him off. Froch returned the favor in the twelfth when he had Kessler in trouble in the closing seconds. Their first fight in 2010 saw Kessler win a twelve round decision over Froch in Denmark.
