The Board's notices have come round with this listed. I had heard it mentioned elsewhere but now it's 'official'.

Groves is set to box on 5th May for the WBOgus title and if he wins, the British title match won't happen.

The alternative scenario is he comes straight off the first loss of his career and has eight weeks to get ready for a bloke who dropped him last time out?

Me no likee.

Will never happen unless the rumours are true and he has a busted nose and aint fighting in world title fight.

Interesting (potentially) that Groves was a no show at today's press conference for the fight:

Hopefully it's nowt...still, I'll go to the foot of our stairs if he boxes Anderson on 30th June after boxing Stieglitz on May 5th.

Maybe he has. He should be stripped of the British imo Anderson being screwed over by them

Are they trying to force Groves into a corner where he can't defend his title and has to vacate?

Is Groves still in Northern Cyprus?

All those who would defend against a guy they beat at domestic level instead of taking a World title fight say aye.

*silence*

The decent thing to do would have been to avoid talk or negotiation of the world title fight until business is done. It's not even a world title fight. Ward is the world champion

Yes would been best. How were tickets sales going for that fight?

People keeping asking me about the rumour that Groves has a broken nose. Anyone else heard about this?

Havent heard, but it could be his in negotioations to fight some one else for more money, so he's going to pull out.

Aye so I could get a step closer to winning a Lonsdale belt outright is why.
