Frank Warren has won the right to stage George Groves’ British and Commonwealth Super Middleweight Title defence against Kenny Anderson. The two fighters still have unfinished business after their first fight in 2010, when rising star Groves recovered from the only knockdown in his career to stop the Scotsman.
Anderson had managed to draw the heavily favoured Groves in to an out-and-out war, looking the stronger of the two for the first five rounds of the contest, which was part of a David Haye undercard. The resilient Groves however showed that he was made of stern stuff by coming back and landing a series of body blows in the sixth round to force a stoppage.
Anderson has persued a rematch ever since, confident that he could deliver a win following his near miss at the first time of asking. Similarly Groves, earmarked as a future world champion by many, will be hugely eager to comprehensively put to rest the solitary wobble in his hugely impressive fledgling career.
Following a long period of chasing the rematch Anderson got his wish when the British Boxing Board of Control handed him the dream fight as a mandatory challenger last month.
The action will be shown live and exclusive on BoxNation and will be part of an already action packed schedule of fights coming up on the channel in the first quarter of 2012, which already includes a mammoth SIX World Championship fights.
