Sky Sports News has revealed that Charlie Fitch will definitely referee the WBA and IBF Super middleweight title rematch between titlist Carl Froch, 32-2 (23), and challenger George Groves, 19-1 (15), at Wembley Stadium this weekend.

Eddie Hearn, the show's promoter, informed Sky Sports - who will air the fight live in the U.K. - that the American referee remains the man in charge despite a late objection to his appointment from Groves's team, which was widely reported earlier today.

"There was another objection over the referee from Team Groves but the IBF made the decision last night that Charlie Fitch will referee the fight," Hearn told Sky. [Click Here To Read More]

Honestly don't think Groves could care less about Charlie Fitch.

Probably mind games of some sort.

Let's see if Fitch stops this super early because Groves tried to reject him.

Immediately after asking them to touch gloves.

The drama queen behavior is ridiculous. The winner should get a guest spot on Downton Abbey.

Groves wasting energy

Groves is definitely wasting his energy here, would be better keeping his mind relaxed and focussed.

I'm going to stick my head on a block now and pick Froch to win. I think he will have Groves in the later rounds. Groves will tire due to having spent too much energy on mind games rather than focussing on the fight.
