The Groves/ DeGale card now at the Echo on Dec 9th.

Franks loss my gain :hey

Even if it is just me and GazOC in the arena :happy

 

****** agreed it with Excel but the olympic commitee put a stop to it for reasons unknown as far i know

 

sorry but who is exactly on this card???

 

Frank ******'s show planned for the ExCeL London on Friday December 9 - joint-headlined by James DeGale and George Groves in separate championship fights - has been switched to the Liverpool Echo Arena.

The ExCeL venue was unable to stage the event due to their Olympic test event commitment, while other London venue was available.

However, the Echo Arena has now stepped in to make sure the card goes ahead as planned.

Last month Liverpool star Tony Bellew and Nathan Cleverly fought for the WBO World Light-Heavyweight title in Liverpool, while in July John Murray and Kevin Mitchell were also involved in a thrilling contest there.

DeGale will take on tough Spaniard Jose Guerrero in the first defence of his WBO Intercontinental Super-Middleweight title, while his great rival Groves will defend his Commonwealth strap against an as yet unconfirmed opponent.

On the bill

The card will also feature Olympian Billy Joe Saunders in a ten-round international contest, backed up by former British and Commonwealth Featherweight champion Stephen Smith; his younger brother Liam Smith and light-middleweight talent Joe Selkirk.

Promoter Frank ****** said, "I'm grateful that Ian Congdon and his team at the Liverpool Echo Arena stepped in to stage the event.

"With the great fights we've had recently at the arena with Cleverly v Bellew and Murray v Mitchell, plus cracking title fights with Paul Smith in the past, Liverpool has now become the hotbed of British boxing.

"The fans are fantastic and really love their boxing and come out and support the shows so I'm delighted that James and George plus all the local lads will feature on the card."
