It could be a case of be careful what you wish for, for up and coming prospect Gerorge Groves this winter. It has been confirmed that a mouth watering fight for all British boxing fans will take place late this year, with a date still to be agreed for a late November, early December clash between Ibf and Wba Super-Middleweight Champion Carl Froch and the mandatory challenger for the Ibf strap, George Groves.
Groves has gotten his chance to prove that he is indeed the prospect that he has claimed to be ever since defeating Olympic gold medalist James DeGale in 2011. Since that victory, injuries have curtailed the Londoner’s progress for the best part of a year, but over the past 10 months or so he has gotten back on track and has thrown his name right back in to the mix for world titles by being very active in 2013 so far.

The Fighter picked up some Oscars but the main event is in trouble, plus Mike Tyson's latest rehabilitation
Hollywood has always loved boxing - but not enough this time for The Fighter to beat The King's Speech at the Oscars. Still, it picked up a couple of gongs, including one for Welsh actor Christian Bale, who beat Geoffrey Rush for best supporting actor in his role as Mickey Ward's wayward half-brother, Dicky Eklund. "Mate, you're the best," Bale shouted out to Eklund in the audience. "He's had a wonderful story and I can't want to see the next chapter … If you want to be a champion, if you want to train with him, go and meet with him. Go and check him out. He deserves it."
Eklund was not bowled over in a rush of luvvies. There will not be another chapter. He has had his Hollywood moment and will be forgotten soon enough,...
