That was ages ago when someone was threatening to shot him during the (proposed) rematch with Kenny Anderson if my memory serves me correctly when he held the British title.

I read on Eastside that Groves refused to return the Lonsdale belt that he didn't win outright.

Was Groves stripped? I thought he vacated the title.

A very disrespectful photograph not only towards a trophy but also to a fellow professional in my eyes.

Apparently Andersons brother in law tweeted Groves saying Tell your bird to have a bath in bleach. Shitbag. Keep fighting bums



If true what a cock, so you can'y blame groves for not being in a rush to give Anderson the belt

What happened with Groves? Ever since he beat Degale he's acting like he's King Shit of the Caca tribe.

I would not call Glencoffe Johnson a bum even at 43 and having had elbow surgery as well (if it is true of course) as I think Johnson still has some to offer and could give Groves a fright if he gets his gameplan wrong against a tough, durable and experienced fighter such as the Roadwarrior, but I would like to see Groves fight Kenny Anderson as I think it would be a right barn burner.

Groves has already beat Anderson and judging by Kenny's last performance Groves would stop him quicker

yeah he's saying its andersons family and close friends that have beens sending threats over the last year and much more recently, when he went to the board about it they did nothing and stripped him instead for not making the fight. They were probably too busy pretending they were going to do something about haye and chisora.

How was anderson the mandatory grove beat him not that long ago? Is he the BBBofC's version of Ruiz.

Wouldn't it be really funny if David Haye went up and bitch slapped this fornicating racist idiot!

If its true he wouldn't have the balls to anything to Groves or Haye although i'd pay good money to see them go 3 rounds

Read the OP, he has been receiving racist threats apparently and supposedly contacted the BBBC about it. Whether they are racist or not tweeting threats is serious and Kenny Anderson should be ashamed of himself. This has been going on a while.

No need for any of that, Anderson was beat last time and would lose again. If the fight v Reid last weekend was his best effort after a long and dedicated training camp, Groves would give him some real knuckle.

Agreed. He looked slow and robotic against Reid, against a younger opponent he would have been dropped in those first 6 rounds

I did read the OP. It doesn't really give a lot of details does it?
