There’s been loads of buzz about Creed ever since Ryan Coogler hit it big with his feature directorial debut Fruitvale Station last year, but until now, it’s really just amounted to a whole bunch of talk with no sign of the project actually moving forward.

It could be a case of be careful what you wish for, for up and coming prospect Gerorge Groves this winter. It has been confirmed that a mouth watering fight for all British boxing fans will take place late this year, with a date still to be agreed for a late November, early December clash between Ibf and Wba Super-Middleweight Champion Carl Froch and the mandatory challenger for the Ibf strap, George Groves.
Groves has gotten his chance to prove that he is indeed the prospect that he has claimed to be ever since defeating Olympic gold medalist James DeGale in 2011. Since that victory, injuries have curtailed the Londoner’s progress for the best part of a year, but over the past 10 months or so he has gotten back on track and has thrown his name right back in to the mix for world titles by being very active in 2013 so far.
