The clash of both British boxers is going to take a place at the Manchester Arena, United Kingdom on February 17, 2018.

29 year old George Groves ( 27-3, 20KOs) who is on a currently 6 win streak including win over Fedor Chudinov which is probably the most importat win of his career and that win also gained him WBA Super World Champion title. Two of three of his losses came from boxing legend Carl Froch (33-2, 24 KOs) who is now boxing expert and columnist claiminig that Eubank Jnr. should not overlooked Groves' punch power as he is a big guy and surely more experienced and confident than ever before as he now holds World Champions' title. Groves' last lose was against Badou Jack (22-1-2, 13KOs), also one of the boxers who belongs to the top of his division.

One year younger than Groves, Chris Eubank Jnr. (26-1, 20KOs) son of the famous boxing champ Chris Eubank (45-5-2, 23KOs) trying to follow fathers' legacy and to justify his name by joining to the top of the super middleweight divison. He maybe had an easier throughout way than Groves as his father and managers accurately choose his opponents. The biggest name he has ever fought was Billy Joe Saunders (26-0, 12 KOs) and Chris lost. But that lost was in 2014, since then he has fought 8 times and won in the all of the fights while he has surely gained some valuable experience that might help him in the big bout that is ahead of him. Chris is a fan and boxing critics favourite but the fight would itself say if Eubank Jnr. is really destined for the big things.
