The way George was talking the fight was postponed but if he has been removed as mandatory then perhaps DeGale will beat him to a title **** afterall. This injury has probably cost Groves a year in his career to work his way back into teh mandatory position and even then he may face a more formidable opponent like Abraham who he cant KO and wont get a decision in Germany.

Tough road back for Groves. The injury has cost him big.

Than Groves should rematch DeGale later this year. And the winners of Degale-Groves II can fight the Abraham-Stieglitz winner.

How is Abraham the mandatory?

For beating a guy that DeGale just beat?

DeGale should get the shot at Stieglitz

I hope they make this fight, could be huge in Germany. Abraham was waiting in line for the Stieglitz-Groves winner anyways...

It's all f**ked up, I don't get it either. If Abraham is the mandatory, than I hope Groves gives DeGale a rematch. And then the winners can fight each other I guess.

Depends how much longer DeGale is contracted to Frank Warren. Warren will want to make that fight but he'd obviously like a world title to be involved if possible,

I don't think DeGale will be with Warren much longer.

Just read he's contracted for another year.

I believe it's called Sauerland Promotions.
