By Scott Gilfoid: Kallie Sauerland, the promoter for #1 WBC mandatory challenger George Groves (21-2, 16 KOs), says that a deal has been reached with WBC super middleweight champion Badou Jack (19-1-1, 12 KOs) for the fight to be staged in the United States at a still to be determined date and venue.
The purse bid that was scheduled for this Friday between Sauerland Events and Jack’s promoters at Mayweather Promotions has now been canceled. What’s interesting is that Sauerland’s tweet announcing the news makes it seem like it’s a victory for the 27-year-old Groves.
