•Sep 6, 2015

Anthony Dirrell made headlines for all of the right reasons one year ago, with his super middleweight title win over Sakio Bika in their rematch last August coming on the heels of fellow cancer survivor Daniel Jacobs earning a middleweight belt just one week prior. Fast forward to present day, where Jacobs has twice defended his belt to remain champion, while Dirrell is in search of a second title reign. The two shared a stage in Chicago this past April, only for Dirrell to fall short versus Badou Jack in losing his super middleweight title.

George Groves has warned Badou Jack he will be making a mistake if the Swedish-born boxer relies on him tiring during their WBC super middleweight title fight. Groves fights Jack at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on September 12, on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather's welterweight fight with Andre Berto, amid ongoing concerns about his stamina. The super middleweight's endurance his been a concern on more than one occasion, not least during his two defeats by Carl Froch, but he has spent the past eight weeks training in the mountains at altitude at Big Bear, California, and is using criticism of his conditioning as motivation ahead of his meeting with Jack.

Badou Jack is confident he’ll present even more problems for George Groves than Carl Froch, who beat Groves by technical knockout in two super middleweight title fights. Jack (19-1-1, 12 KOs) is scheduled to defend the WBC 168-pound championship against Groves (21-2, 16 KOs) on the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Andre Berto undercard Sept. 12 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas (Showtime Pay-Per-View; $74.95 in HD; 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT). London’s Groves is 0-2 in world title fights, yet slightly favored to take Jack’s title.

Badou Jack and George Groves are both supremely confident ahead of their upcoming super middleweight title fight, which takes place September 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout will serve in supporting capacity to Floyd Mayweather’s World welterweight championship defense versus Andre Berto. That status came about after a drastic change in plans that originally had Jack and Groves headlining an August 22 card at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

George Groves hopes to be third time lucky in his upcoming super middleweight title challenger versus defending champ Badou Jack. The two collide on September 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, serving in supporting capacity to Floyd Mayweather’s billed swan song versus Andre Berto. Two previous cracks at a championship saw Groves suffer back-to-back stoppage losses to countryman Carl Froch in England. Their first fight in Nov. ‘13 ended under dubious circumstances, with the then-unbeaten Groves well ahead but running into trouble in the 9th round only for referee Howard John Foster to develop an itchy trigger finger in prematurely stopping the contest.
