By Scott Gilfoid: 43-year-old Glen Johnson (51-17-2, 35 KO’s) has been picked out for the next opponent for Commonwealth super middleweight champion George Groves (15-0, 12 KO’s) to fight on December 15th at the ExCel Arena, Dockland, in London, United Kingdom.
Johnson has obviously been selected because he’s got a name and Groves by extension will get some attention by casual and hardcore boxing fans if he can beat him. Let’s be clear on this: Johnson isn’t in the prime of his career, because if he was I think he wouldn’t have been considered a possible opponent for Groves.
