    It looks like it's Groves. If it were Joshua then there would no "tease" as so to speak, Hearn would just announce it on Monday.

  4. its groves

    i remember when he was supposed too sign for matchroom last time but changed his mind at last min and left eddie in the lurch

    seems too me booth n groves are bigger snakes than ol frank

    but for eddie its a excellent signing which will help with the ppv sales for the froch fight

    Groves been sparring Buglioni today, so he's still preparing for a fight... So he's either still fighting on 16th or the 9th

    "Darkness can always be hidden behind a bright light" from Booth's twitter - do you reckon this leads anywhere regarding VVarren? :think

    They're wise for getting the best deal really, promoters are mostly snakes.

    I think Eddie Hearn will probably have thrown in the potential of a lucrative Froch fight to wet his appetite.

    Jonsey is Joshua's biggest fan. Whenever I say anything about Joshua, he is all over me like the women are.

    Of course fighters can develop in the pro ranks, but this isnt any fighter and this isnt a naturally talented fighter. It is a career, a career choice, of just 2-3 years ago. Whilst he held his own in the Olympics, he was gifted a gold, and was gifted a W in 2 fights.

    He didnt look very good to me, and looked far from pro. He should stay in the amateurs for 1 or 2 more years, gaining valuable experience and then move up. If he moves up to early, it will be all over before you know it. The pro's are no joke and some fighters won't think twice about letting a fight go to the judges. They will have his number, and end it.

    What I'm saying is this, this is heavyweight boxing as we saw last week with David Price, Joshua isnt quite ready, he is still raw. If he moves up to early, for money or fame, he will pay for it.

    Better to go with the flow and go naturally. So Shhhhhhhhtop its not ready yet!

    The Sun (scum) are posting it online soon, with an interview.. Says Title holder so rules out Mitchell and heard it isn't Burns.. Looks like its Groves to be fair... Good move if it is

    Some major arse licking right there :D

    For now Hearn is the Guv'nor. Immaculately suited as ever, every hair neatly placed and a glow on his handsome features that suggests unflustered success, he is in no doubt that he is involved in what he calls "a **** business".

    Not true. It was a mutual agreement. Hearn wanted domestic and international promotional rights, but Groves had a deal with Golden Boy so they agreed it wasn't the right choice.

    No one left anyone in the lurch. Frank signed Groves because he wanted to make a DeGale rematch at the end of the deal. Unfortunately, the whole thing blew up in his face.

    It was pretty cringe-worthy, along with "done his absolute bollocks". Eddie is the least authentic working-class man I can recall. He may have the mockney accent down, but he's a posh lad at heart.

    Some of what he said was very true, but he can't really snipe at Frank for being a *****. I remember Hearn's twitter was rife with put-downs for Frank last year.
