Tickets for the Oct. 29 super-welterweight unification fight between WBC champion Carl Froch and WBA king Andre Ward at Boardwalk Hall will go on sale Friday at noon.

Seats are priced from $50 to $300 and are available by going to www.pressofatlanticcity.com/tickets.

"This is what we, as fighters, dream of," Ward said in a statement Tuesday. "It's what we fight for. This one is for all the marbles. This is the kind of fight you have to fight - and win - in order to be considered 'great.'"

Froch (28-1, 20 KOs) advanced to the final of Showtime's Super Six World Boxing Classic with a 12-round majority decision over Glen Johnson in Atlantic City last June 4. Ward (24-0, 13 KOs) earned his berth with a 12-round unanimous decision over Arthur Abraham in Carson, Calif. last May 14.

The fight is being co-promoted by Goossen Tutor Promotions, Matchroom Sport and Antonio Leonard Promotions and is being hosted by Caesars Atlantic City.
