Froch v Groves II: Unfinished Business

froch535By Lee Shaw: On May 31st the hugely anticipated rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves will take place at England’s national stadium, Wembley in front of 60,000 fans. It is now time to move on from the controversy of the first fight and look forward to what will once again be a spectacular event with two of Britain’s finest ready to battle it out for the IBF and WBA Super Middleweight titles.
