Comments Thread For: Froch Eyes Groves Defense in Late 2013, Early 2014

There's more money for Groves if he brings a title to the table & as WBC #1 he has a golden opportunity to do just that. So bring on Bika 1st!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Degale is the WBC #1 and Groves is the IBF #1.

Just checked and Groves is number 1 in wbc & wbo as well.

Wow! Ok. How did that happen?

I thought Degale just fought the eliminator for the WBC didn't he?

I am not sure but it says he is the Wbc Silver champion and Groves is number 1 contender (Degale is number 4)

I'm not sure this will happen so soon. Surely matchroom will want to target Steiglitz or Bika first before throwing Groves in with Froch.

Yeah, early 2014 is surprising. Doesn't really make sense unless he's fighting a unification first.
