Carl Froch vs. Lucian Bute, billed as No Easy Way Out, is a championship fight for Bute's IBF Super Middleweight title. The bout is held on 26 May 2012, at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England.
The card is a co-production of Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing and Jean Bedard's Interbox promotions and televised via Epix and Sky Sports. Showtime was not interested in this fight. Bute has one fight left on his Showtime deal. Rumors said that Showtime prefers to put on a fight between Lucian Bute and Bernard Hopkins or Andre Ward instead Carl Froch was involved in Showtime's Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament. He ended up reaching the final, losing to Andre Ward.Then, IBF officially enforced Carl Froch as Lucian Bute's number one mandatory.

Lucian Bute's 3-fight Showtime deal was supposed to culminate in a showdown against the Super 6, but Andre Ward was injured in the final. The American also sneered at Bute's record, saying he would need to beat some top opponents to earn the right to face him.
Bute agreed then to take a break from his contract with the Showtime channel and to accept what may end up being less than half his usual purse in order to travel to England to face Carl Froch, a two-time WBC champion with established credibility.
"In recent years, I've been criticized for only fighting at home but we never got offers to go elsewhere and I had to keep boxing," Bute said. "I decided that this time, I'll make my 10th defence in Nottingham."
Good super middleweight opponents have been scarce in the last three years because they were all involved in the Super 6 tournament. Bute was not invited to take part as the organizers wanted three Americans and three Europeans.
