George Groves – Carl Froch: War of Words – Boxing News

Super middleweight contender ‘Saint’ George Groves has announced that he turned down an ‘unsatisfactory’ offer to fight heated rival Carl Froch, but insists it is a fight he wants to take place sooner rather than later. “I am unsure why Carl Froch has today released a statement implying I do not wish to take the fight, as I was under the impression we are still in negotiations,” said Groves. “The Matchroom offer in question came with many stipulations and options I felt were unsatisfactory. I am currently awaiting an improved offer from his promoter, as well as speaking to other promoters interested in promoting this fight.

“If I didn’t want to fight Carl Froch then I wouldn’t have invested so much time and money into appealing with the IBF over the dubious outcome of the first fight. And I await the outcome of that hearing in the very near future.”
