George Groves erupted over the statements that were made by his former promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing. Hearn is very interested in making a rematch between Groves and Olympic gold medal winner James DeGale. Several years ago, Groves handed DeGale his first and only career defeat with a close twelve round decision.

Groves is the mandatory challenger to WBC champion Anthony Dirrell, while DeGale is mandatory to Froch, who likely won't fight the once beaten boxer.
