    Strong rumours from good sources on Twitter that it will be announced tomorrow that Groves is out of the final vs Smith. Christopher Livingstone Eubank Jr seems to be the rumoured replacement.

    In the words of English: I shot the sheriff....but I didn't shoot no deputy.

    Young English winning the Ali trophy will be up there with one of the greatest Eubank troll moments.

    If this is true, the tournament has been reduced to a farce.

    Agreed

    Smith almost got a bye into final and CEJ has already been schooled...

    Credibility of the tournament would take a hit in my opinion if this plays out.

    Hope not - zero fault lies with the organisers though - they put together a very strong line-up

    Zero fault with Callum Smith he signed up to fight Braemer and Groves. If Eubank fights Callum Smith it will be his last fight at SMW as he will be badly beaten

    If Groves is out they should not put any one beat in contest in the final. Should look to other champions, DeGale should be fit enough. If not I think John Ryder is more deserving than Eubank, as is Braemer.

    **** it, I'm up for seeing how Jnr does against Smith. Bit of a bummer but I'm intrigued all the same

    DeGale would get one up on Groves big time, well until Callum beat him that is.

    Losing credibilit and the 140 line up looks well below par also.
