Comments Thread For: Groves-Anderson II Pushed Further Back, Maree Upset

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Super middleweight contender Kenny Anderson, 16-1 (12), faces a long wait for his shot at George Groves’s British 168lb title as the BBBoC have put the contest back out to purse bids due to ‘Frank Warren advising [the Board] that a suitable venue could not be secured’. FWP Ltd. won the first purse bid to stage the contest, which was originally scheduled for March, only for Groves to suffer an injury that nixed the bout. The lack of a suitable venue has now torpedoed a revised, yet not officially announced, June 30 date. According to the BBBoC’s recent championship notice, the new bids are due in on July 11 and the bout must be staged by the end of September.

This is terrible news. At this rate he'll be lucky to fight once this year.

Have to wonder if this has anything to do with Warren's recent troubles. Not being able to find a venue is odd considering there are going to be a lot of people in London and Scotland wanting to see this.

Would've made for a good undercard fight for Haye-Chisora but perhaps one or both of them didn't want to risk it.

Think Boxnation and Haye v Chisora has swallowed Frank's assets and time.
