WBC silver welterweight champion Amir Khan agrees with the popular opinion that referee Howard Foster stepped in too early to wave off the contest between Carl Froch and George Groves last November. Froch was down in the first and behind on the cards when he got Groves in trouble during the ninth, and Foster stepped while Froch was attempting to finish. The rematch is now set, for this Saturday night. And 80,000 fans are heading down to London's Wembley to watch them trade for a second time.

George Groves is adamant there is no way super-middleweight rival Carl Froch will be able to defend his IBF and WBA titles for a second time on Saturday night. The pair were involved in a hugely controversial first bout in November which was stopped by Howard Foster Jr in the ninth round in favour of Froch, but Groves is sure the 36-year-old veteran will have no such luck when the pair clash at Wembley. Many feel that Groves tired during the latter stages of their first meeting in Manchester but the 26-year-old Londoner believes hometown advantage and a more intense conditioning regime can ensure every conceivable outcome will fall in his favour.
