By Scott Gilfoid: Joe Calzaghe thinks that #1 WBC George Groves (21-2, 16 KOs) will be victorious in his upcoming title challenge against WBC super middleweight champion Badou Jack (19-1-1, 12 KOs). The date still isn’t official, but WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman was talking today about the Jack-Groves fight taking place on August 22nd in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Calzaghe wants to see Groves win the WBC 168lb title off of Jack, and then face IBF super middleweight champion James DeGale in a rematch/unification fight next year. It sounds like a nice pipe dream for Calzaghe, but there are a lot of pieces that need to come together for this fantasy fight to actually take place.
