George Groves insists his demolition of Jamaican veteran Glen Johnson at London's ExCel has identified him as a fighter to be feared by his super-middleweight rivals. Groves defended his Commonwealth title with a wide points victory over a respected opponent whose 71-fight record includes wins against Roy Jones and Antonio Tarver. It was only the 24-year-old's 16th contest, yet he succeeded in defeating Johnson more comprehensively than British rival Carl Froch, who secured only a majority decision in June last year.

It will be the unbeaten 24-year-old's second outing of a year interrupted by back and nose injuries and the significant cut sustained during his six-round stoppage of Francisco Sierra in July.

By Jake Donovan - Ricky Burns is officially off of Saturday’s show at the ExCel Arena in London. The red hot lightweight titlist was set to headline the show, but the late withdrawal of Jose Ocampo left the event handlers short on time to find a suitable replacement. Burns will instead sit out the remainder of 2012, with plans to return to the ring on January 26 in Glasgow. “It’s a very disappointing time and I feel for Ricky who has put in a lot of hard work to prepare,” promoter Frank Warren said in a statement. “First for (Liam) Walsh, then for Ocampo. [N]ow he won’t be on the show this Saturday, but will be return(ing) in late January.”
