Froch Warns Groves: Dirrell Will Be Too Much For You

Wembley Arena, London - IBF/WBA 'regular' super middleweight king Carl Froch has warned his former opponent, George Groves (20-2, 15KOs), to stay away from WBC champion Anthony Dirrell.

Groves, after suffering back from back to back stoppage defeats to Carl Froch, returned on Saturday night with a twelve round unanimous decision over  Christopher Rebrasse (22-3, 6KOs) to capture the EBU/WBC silver super middleweight titles. Groves is now the mandatory challenger Dirrell.

Dirrell dug deep to earn the title with an ugly points win over Sakio Bika last month and the Nottingham man feels he would grind down ‘Saint George’, should the pair meet in the ring.

“I think he’s going to really struggle to beat Anthony Dirrell. I just think he’s just too much for him, especially down the straight,” said Froch
