Yup, pretty mad.... and Hearn is poking fun at him, lol.

Degale rematch ain't looking bad now I guess

@KFZ001 although we would like to answer, we have no idea of the Dirrell situation yet. There will be a press release later today.

I reckon another tuneup for Groves will do him good. A DeGale return does not make sense before there's a belt or two on the line.

I herd a few weeks ago @BadouJack may be getting a title shot. Today the WBC granted Anthony Dirrell a voluntary defence......... ***10;***10;#boxing

This honestly plays in Groves favor. He needs an extended time away from fighting - less than 4 months after losing to Froch he was back in vs Rebrasse & 2 months after that he was in with Douglin. Not only the physical damage from the fights & sparring (which included w/ GGG), but the mental stress losing such a huge event and then having to prepare for such lesser fights.

[i'm a fun haver]

Hasn't fought since August, no news on when he will fight again and he needs a 4 month extension? Can't say I'm surprised

WTF his last fight was 8/16/13 , Why he getting so much time?
