Tempers run high at Froch-Groves press conference
Tempers have been running high at the Carl Froch versus George Groves pre-fight press conference, as the Nottingham boxer pushes his London opponent away.
Froch-Groves rematch: tickets on sale today
Nottingham boxer Carl 'The Cobra' Froch and rival George Groves will come face to face today - at a press conference publicising their highly anticipated rematch.
The showdown second fight has been scheduled for May 31 at Wembley Stadium, with tickets on sale today.
When the pair met in November their world title fight was controversially stopped by the referee in the ninth round.
At that point, Froch, the current IBF and WBA super-middleweight champion, was down on points. The stoppage was greeted with boos from the crowd.
'The Cobra', as Carl is known in the boxing world, defended the referee's decision, saying it was "right" to stop the fight.
When the rematch was announced last month, Froch said he was "excited" about it.
Both fighters and their trainers Robert McCracken MBE and Paddy Fitzpatrick will attend the press conference at Wembley Stadium today, along with show promoter Eddie Hearn.
