Groves to fight Eubank

George Groves’ WBA super-middleweight title defence against Chris Eubank, jun will take place at the Manchester Arena on February 17.

The champion, from London, had hoped their highlyanticipated World Boxing Super Series semi-final would take place in the capital.

The series’ promoters have now said he will instead return to the Manchester Arena for the first time since one of his finest performances in his first fight against Nottingham’s Carl Froch, in 2013, when he dropped the then defending champion and outboxed him before the controversial late stoppage.
