It's likely the walk-out bout, meaning it'll occur after the main event.

Froch denied by late cancellation
Froch had been looking to extend his winning run to 15 fights
Carl Froch's US debut was cancelled at the last minute after his American opponent Christian Cruz weighed in more than a stone overweight.
Unbeaten Nottingham super middleweight Froch had been due to appear in a high-profile undercard slot on Bernard Hopkins' world middleweight title bill.
All parties had agreed on Friday that the contest could be fought above the 12-stone super middleweight limit.
But the weight difference was deemed too great for the fight to go ahead.
That is a great shame

This was a shame for Froch going all the way to America, getting into shape and hyped up for his opponent to get the fight scrapped for basically being unprofessional by the sounds of it.
Hopefully he will get another fight very soon.

He'll be getting another fight in America in no time, sounds like he's inked a deal with GBP aswell.

Mixing with some tough USA oppostion in the gym and in the ring could do wonders for Froch's development as a fighter.
Witter as well.

True, Froch definately needs a trainer to tell him to get that left hand up higher, we all saw how many times Eastman got nailed with the overhand right to prove how easier it is for the elite to catch you.

I noticed that too. Right on the bottom of every article about Witter's deal. I'm not the bloke's biggest fan, but if Witter is going to be fighting in the US from now on, then this could be a great opportunity for Froch to get some major exposure. Not only that but "Golden Boy" are already looking like a decent outfit with regards to getting their fighters meaningful contests. Could be a very good move for the man.
