Super middleweight George Groves has confirmed the rumours about sustaining another injury in training, which has forced him to withdraw from his WBO world title challenge in Germany against Robert Steiglitz.
Speaking from his facebook account the fighter had the following statement to make:
"I am sorry to have to announce that I won't be boxing on May 5th. I have picked up an injury in the build up to this fight. We tried to work through it but soon realised I wouldn't be able to perform the training needed to prepare for this fight. After coming back to London immediately and seeking medical advice I hope that this problem will be sorted soon and will only be a short delay.
I am truly sorry to everyone involved who will be affected by this. This is without doubt the toughest decision I have ever had to make, I am gutted but nothing worth having is given away. It has only made me more determined to achieve my goal of becoming world champion. Thanks to everyone again for their continued support in my journey."
