Eubank Jr: “Groves, I’m coming for you”
By Scott Gilfoid: Following his 3rd round knockout win over Avni Yildirim (16-1, 10 KOs) on Saturday night in the World Boxing Super Series tournament, IBO super middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. (26-1, 20 KOs) called out WBA 168 lb. champion George Groves, telling him that he’s coming for him and imploring him not to lose his fight next Saturday night against Jamie Cox in the tournament.
Has the Super Middleweight division gone stale?
By Gavin Howie: In years gone by the Super Middleweight division was certainly one of my favorites growing up. The likes of Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Steve Collins etc. And more recently Joe Calzaghe, Andre Ward, Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler to name just a few. Most of these guys faced each other and were involved in some memorable match ups.
Froch picks Groves as favorite to win WBSS
By Scott Gilfoid: Former 168 lb. champion Carl Froch has WBA super middleweight champion George Groves as the favorite in the World Boxing Super Series over the likes of Callum Smith, Chris Eubank Jr. and Erik Skoglund. The series is lacking is missing a lot of the other top 168 lb. fighters like the Dirrell brothers, James DeGale, Gilberto Ramirez, David Benavidez and Jose Uzcategui. Not having those guys in the tournament takes a lot of the intrigue, because those are guys that would have a chance against anyone in the tourney.
George Groves confident against Jamie Cox

Brook vs. Spence = 2 weeks away
By Scott Gilfoid: In less than 2 weeks from now, IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) will be putting his IBF strap on the line against his mandatory challenger Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) in a very big fight on May 27 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. On May 27, we’re going to find out quickly if there’s any residual damage to Brook’s surgically repaired right eye from his last fight against Gennady Golovkin. If the titanium plate that was inserted into Brook’s right eye socket isn’t as strong as he’s been blathering about, we could see that eye swell up almost immediately when Spence nails on that spot.
Jamie Cox wants title shot
Swindon slayer Jamie Cox is frothing to remind fight fans of the carnage he can cause inside a prize-ring, writes Glynn Evans.
After stretching all three of his 2015 victims in the opening session the 30 year old western gunslinger endured a nightmare 2016 in which he served time in prison (for charges which were subsequently dismissed on appeal), was stripped of his world ranking and restricted to a single public outing.
Jamie Cox vs. Martin Fidel Rios – Results
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated super middleweight Jamie Cox (21-0, 12 KOs) defeated Martin Fidel Rios (20-10-3, 11 KOs) by a 10 round points decision to capture the vacant WBO Inter-Continental super middleweight title on Saturday night at the Bolton Whites Hotel in Bolton. Referee Phil Edwards, who really had his hands full in controlling this fight, scored it 98-86 for Cox to give him the win.
That was a fair score. However, you can argue that Edwards should have disqualified the 30-year-old Cox for all the awful fouling he was doing the entire fight. I lost track of all the head-butts that were initiated by Cox in the fight. He was constantly sticking his head into the face of Rios like a Billy goat for the full 10 rounds.
Jamie Cox defeats Ferenc Albert by 1st round TKO
By Scott Gilfoid: A fleshy looking #8 WBO super middleweight contender Jamie Cox (20-0, 12 KOs) came out fast in going right hook crazy in scoring a 1st round knockout over 22-year-old Ferenc Albert (20-8, 9 KOs) on Saturday night to retain his WBO European super middleweight title at the National Stadium, in Dublin, Ireland.

By Scott Gilfoid: In another controversial United Kingdom bout that happened recently between Jamie Cox (16-0, 9 KO’s) and Commonwealth light middleweight champion Obodai Sai (15-1, 10 KOs’) last Friday night in which Cox won the fight by a very questionable decision, the Ghana Boxing Authority is reportedly protested the results to the Commonwealth Boxing Council to see if they can get the fight results overturned or at the very least a rematch called between the two fighters.
