DeGale desperate for Groves rematch

- JEFF POWELL

JAMES DeGALE will be cheering on his most bitter rival as George Groves aims to win the Super Series tournament. DeGale, who is not taking part in the super-middleweig­ht event, defends his IBF world title on December 9, but is desperate to fight WBA champion Groves next year. First, though, Groves must beat chris Eubank Jnr in January and then win the Super Series final. DeGale, who lost to Groves in 2011, said: ‘For the first time in my life I’ll be Groves’s biggest fan. One, I need my revenge. Two, it would be a huge stadium fight in London.’
