    Just over two years after Showtime's Super Six World Boxing Classic began on Oct. 17, 2009, it will end with the 11th fight of the tournament when super middleweight titlist Andre Ward and Carl Froch meet Oct. 29 to unify their belts.

    And now there is a site for the fight too: Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.

    "This is a great opportunity to get Andre in front of the East Coast fans and media because he is a very talented young champion that people are going to love to embrace once they see him," Dan Goossen, Ward's promoter, said Monday. "And then you go to Boardwalk Hall and it has a tremendous history to it with all the great fights and fighters who have fought there. For years Las Vegas and Atlantic City have fought for that title of boxing capital of the world."
