    Saw on twitter about some reliable sources quoting the above venue? Anyone heard similar?!

    What reliable sources?

    Would be amazed if Froch agreed to a rematch in London at the ground of the club Groves supports.

    If he does agree to a rematch surely the City Ground is more likely?

    Can't see even the international superstar fighting at Stamford Bridge. It'll be at the O2 if it does happen.

    The tweet didn't state who the source was unfortunately. I wonder if Froch fancies beating him proper in his own backyard?

    Sounds like utter bull****. Someone on twitter quoting "sources"....

    Would be amazed if there was even a grain of truth in this seeing as Froch is on holiday, Hearn is in Canada with Bellew, and Groves doesn't have an effective manager after his break with Booth.

    Froch is clearly reluctant to agree to any rematch, and even more unlikely to do it away from Nottingham which is the only place I'd imagine he has any real support these days.

    Froch will most likely feign some injury and retire now

    Don't think Froch would have agreed to it that quickly.

    Doubt anything will be signed up untill early new year.

    Eddies already said they've had contact from stadiums wanting to hold the fight..and with interest in the second fight being much bigger than in the first they could fill one.. So they'd be stupid not to.. Surely?

    If they're doing a football ground surely Nottingham Forest will be the one? Why would the champion give up home advantage to go to London? A 3/4 full stadium of Froch supporters (groves would have a few there too) nursing his ego would surely be his favoured choice? He's always talked about wanting to fight there.

    Who has said about Stamford Bridge? Last I heard Eddie was going to sit down with them both when he was back from Canada
