George Groves: I’m willing to knock Carl Froch out and I will

FOLLOWING his win over Christopher Rebrasse, new European super-middleweight champion George Groves called out Carl Froch yet again. Despite being stopped twice by Froch – the second time via a brutal one-punch knockout – the Londoner believes he has the beating of the IBF champion.

“It was amazing to be back boxing and back winning,” Groves said. “After the win I looked into Froch’s eyes and he looked back into mine from ringside. I’ve got a bright future ahead of me and if Carl Froch wants to carry on boxing, I’m happy, willing, ready and able to knock Froch out. And I will.”

Froch, though, has no interest in fighting his domestic rival for a third time.

He said on Sky Sports:

“Third fight with me? You know if it was 1-1, in two close fights, then you have the decider,โ€ he said. โ€œIf Iโ€™m going to have the decider with anyone, itโ€™s got to be Mikkel Kessler.

โ€œIโ€™ve got to sit down and speak to Eddie Hearn my promoter over the next couple of weeks.Whoever I fight, itโ€™s going to be a big fight. I mentioned (Mikkel) Kessler, there is Anthony Dirrell, James DeGale is mandatory for the IBF title, so these are all names potentially.

โ€œWe are still looking at Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr . For me, Iโ€™d still love to fight in Las Vegas, the fight capital of the world.”
