George Groves: record, next fight and profile →
As George Groves embarks on another fighter/trainer relationship, this time with Shane McGuigan, the British super middleweight claims one of his previous coaches, Adam Booth, “abandoned himâ€. Groves was speaking at a press conference today (Thursday, December 17) in London to formally announce his January 30 fight against Andrea Di Luisa at the Copper Box Arena.
British super middleweight 'Saint' George Groves (21-3, 16 KOs) has officially announced Shane McGuigan as his new trainer. Groves, who narrowly lost a split decision against Badou Jack in Las Vegas for the WBC world championship belt in September, has made the announcement ahead of his return to the ring on January 30th when he will take on Italian Andrea Di Luisa (18-3, 14 KOS) at the Copper Box in London's Olympic Park; live on Sky Sports.

As reported by Boxing Scene's Elliot Foster last week, Shane McGuigan will be the new trainer to British super middleweight George Groves. The news was confirmed today ahead of a press conference tomorrow that will reveal McGuigan as trainer to the three-time world title challenger.
Martin J Ward has had his first fight of the New Year pencilled in. The WBC International super featherweight champion, 24, was set to box on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s seven-round stoppage of Dillian Whyte at the O2 Arena last Saturday.
Three of Matchroom Boxing’s prospects have been confirmed for the undercard of George Groves’ return against Andrea Di Luisa (18-3, 14 KOs) next month. Reece Bellotti (4-0, 3 KOs), Ted Cheeseman (2-0, 1 KO) and Jake Ball (3-0, 2 KOs) were all set for action on the big pay-per-view card, topped by the British, Commonwealth and WBC International heavyweight title clash between Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte, live on Sky Sports Box Office on Saturday, which Joshua won spectacularly by stoppage inside seven rounds.
Shane McGuigan is set to be named as the new trainer of George Groves. Boxing Scene’s UK News Editor Shaun Brown reported last week that Groves, a former three-time world title challenger, was still trialling coaching candidates, but we now understand that the man who trains IBF super bantamweight champ Carl Frampton will take over the day-to-day training of the 27-year-old (21-3, 16 KOs).
Just as Boxing Scene were informed last week it does seem like George Groves’ next opponent is a bit of a “confidence booster”. The 27-year-old British super middleweight (21-3, 16 KOs) returns to action on January 30 at the Copper Box Arena in London against Andrea Di Luisa.
