| Stieglitz vs Groves: SES Boxing Wins The Purse Bid
|
|
By Rick Reeno BoxingScene.com has been informed that SES Boxing, who promote WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (41-2, 23KOs), secured the rights to the mandatory defense against British titleholder George Groves (14-0, 11KOs). The WBO held a purse bid earlier today in Budapest, Hungary. Reportedly SES submitted "around $800,000." Stieglitz was scheduled to defend his title against Mikkel Kessler on April 14th in Coppenhagen, but BoxingScene broke the news earlier today that Kessler is still dealing with a right hand injury and withdrew from the contest . Kessler will return on May 19th against a new opponent. Groves has a fight scheduled on Friday night in Wembley, as he faces dangerous puncher Kenny Anderson (15-1, 11KOs) in a rematch.

It's a big if not a good step up for Groves. I couldn't imagine Frank losing a purse bid for DeGail when those two were together and best pals, but I always got the suspicion he picked up Groves for Chunky to dine on at a later date and wasn't 110% behind the idea of properly promoting Groves lik... |
