    Would not surprise me if its Callum Smith who unlike DeGale and Groves will take risky fights whilst number 1 contender, as he backs himself. If its him v Groves, the only chance of Smith not winning is if his hands go again. Otherwise Groves is getting brutally knocked out.

    I cant see it personally, I think he will rebuild for 12-18 months before fighting Degale.

    If it is Smith vs Groves with haye on the undercard that will be yet another PPV

    A thing to bear in mind is the show is taking place at the Copper Box Arena, which only holds 7,500. Does thinking Groves v Smith with Haye on the undercard- surely they would do it at a bigger venue

    Nah mate. O2 is booked up until like May or something, they tried to get Frampton and Quigg there originally.

    I would be shocked if it was Smith if he is lined up to fight Abraham maybe someone in the top 10 in WBO maybe Neilsen

    No I guess that will be confirmed along with the fight. His wiki page has changed to rob mccracken though although wiki isn't exactly reliable

    Laughable people righting off Groves against Callum Smith! This isn't Rocky Fielding we are talking about here. Groves would take Smith out for me just like he did to his brother.
