Why did Mendy not take the Groves fight?

    Mendy still has TBA as his opponent for this weekend. He does not have the '0' to risk. The chance of a Commonwealth title is not something to be sniffed at. Presumably he was in shape being only 1 week away from a fight.

    Why did he not take up the chance?

    he has moved to Middleweight plus he has a name now he can build a career. Why take a fight now he would probably lose.

    He's only 19, he doesn't need to take a fight like this at two weeks notice. Now that he has some recognition he can build his career up. No need to take high risk fights at short notice.

    Seriously? :shock:

    I was about to ridicule his skillset and situation, but he's still got time to polish up and not be an "opponent".

    Notched a number of wins on undercards and is now up to face Sam Webb for British Light Middleweight Title.

    Mendy by all acounts was always a middleweight he just took a chance to win prizefighter taking a beating against a bigger better man will do nothing for his career .
