Danish boxer Mikkel Kessler has beaten Carl Froch in a unanimous decision to win the Briton's WBC super middleweight title.
The judges scored the 12-round bout 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113 in Kessler's favor, despite the Dane being bothered by a cut over his left eye in the final rounds.
The bout was part of the Super Six tournament, which is designed to give six of the best 168-pound boxers in the world three fights each, with points awarded based upon the outcome.
Froch beat Jermain Taylor of the United States with a 12th-round knockout last year in his first title defense, and then overcame Andre Dirrell with a split decision in October.
