In the Words of St George

British and Commonwealth Super Middleweight champion George Groves has had his say on the up and coming Heavyweight extravaganza. St George Groves told Sky Sports of his times spent in Miami with World champion David Haye and his thoughts of Haye‘s chances against Wladimir Klitschko.

Groves started by saying “David enjoys being the under dog and has been abroad and won titles” and fully understands why Klitschko is odds on favourite with the boxing universe stating Wladimir has been at Heavyweight for a lot longer than former Cruiserweight champion of the world Haye. David Haye is only in his 2^nd year at Heavyweight but the likes of David Ruiz and Nikoli Valuev fell to the Haymaker.

Groves briefly commented on the tactics Haye will take into the fight, without giving too much away “this is a different test from Valuev, Klitschko id a different fighter and will ask a lot of different questions but Adam Booth and David Haye put together a fantastic strategy and will be on top form”.

The game plan is always something they will be able to identify strengths and weaknesses and do the same for you opponent added Groves. David Haye sat in George Groves corner when he defeated former British super Middleweight champion James Degale after 3 months out in Miami. World champion Haye took Groves under his wing and the pair lived and trained together. Groves claimed Haye’s presence in miami was invaluable as he sat in Groves’ corner during sparring.

Groves says David Haye is in a much stronger position now then he was when he fought Ruiz, Valuev and Harrison. When asked about what the future holds and Carl Froch’s success in across the Atlantic George said “Carl’s at the top of his game” and “I need to put a lot of work in the Gym”. Hoping to be ready to step up onto the world stage this time next year Groves plan to emulate Carl Froch’s achievements and maybe land a shot at the WBC Super Middleweight champion himself.
