Nottingham heroes

It is an established tradition in Nottingham to name individual trams after local personalities and heroes.
This is one of the new generation trams, spotted today, named after our boxing world champion.

Carl Martin Froch (born Nottingham 2 July 1977) is a four-time world champion in the super middleweight division, having won the WBC title twice, and is the current IBF champion, having defeated Lucian Bute for the title. On 23 May 2013 Froch became the WBA unified champion after defeating Mikkel Kessler.

He has also held the British, Commonwealth and English titles at super middleweight.

Carl Froch is the best British pound-for-pound boxer, according to the BBC. He was also voted WBN (World Boxing News) fighter of the year 2012 and fighter of year 2012 by BoxRec. Froch was awarded 2013 GQ (UK) Sportsman Of The Year.

Froch is ranked by Boxrec as the number seven pound-for-pound boxer in the world and by The Ring magazine as the number eight pound-for-pound boxer in the world.

Pretty good!
