George Groves is back in the mix after losing back to back fights to Carl Froch. Groves on a twelve round unanimous decision over Christopher Rebrasse at Wembley Arena to claim Rebrasse's European super middleweight crown and the vacant WBC silver title. The fight also doubled as a final eliminator for the WBC world title, which means Groves could now face full WBC champion Anthony Dirrell.
Groves said he would be happy to face another opponent if need be as he waits for Dirrell, while he also took the opportunity to challenge Froch - who was working at the fight as a summariser - to a third showdown.
Groves told Froch: "Carl, you stopped me twice, but I still think I can beat you. I'd love to have another crack so if you're up for it, maybe next year who knows? I'm up for it."
Froch, who stopped Groves both times by knockout, showed little interest in taking up the offer, though.
The Nottingham fighter responded by saying: "When it's 2-0, it's 2-0. When you're playing pool in the local, if it's 1-1 you've got to have a decider haven't you, but when it's 2-0 you're going home with a smile on your face."
He added when asked about his relationship with Groves: "There's no needle with me, all there is is George Groves being a little bit deluded, a little bit cheeky, because he's young and he's naive, and he's obnoxious as well."
