I spoke to Mick last Autumn at the hotel before the Simpson-Chelli card in Barnsley and he said was only managing now, not promoting. Didn't seem bitter just very matter of fact. Was really nice chap.

I really feel for him. Guided Froch and Fury to world titles then got dropped when the serious money was coming in

He deserved dropping. Some of Froch’s world title fights when he was in his prime were on the most obscure channels, a guy of his calibre deserved much better and fortunately along came Eddie

He had a confidential arrangement with Fury following the split. Don't be surprised if he didn't do too badly out of it all.

He’s probably spent all that money on food by the look of him

your point makes no sense - Eddie nicked him as soon as he won the title

me too mate, he was not bitter at all when I was lucky enough to speak to him, his daughter was lovely too, spent time talking boxing with my teenage daughter. He has raised a very good person too which is testament to him

Nah he defended against Taylor and was still with Mick and I’m pretty sure he wasn’t with Eddie when he fought Kessler, 100% he was with Mick when he defended against Dirrell anyway. I think it was maybe around the Abraham fight when he moved to Matchroom. Either just before or just after.

I think Ward was his first fight with Matchroom.

I reckon it was Bute, I remember Fast Card got over excited and ran in the ring before the ref stopped it, Froch should have been disqualified
