Super middleweight world titlist George Groves (27-3, 20 KOs) and British countryman Chris Eubank Jr. (26-1, 20 KOs) met head-to-head on Tuesday at the kickoff news conference for their highly anticipated title fight in the semifinals of the World Boxing Super Series.
It was the same day that tickets for the Feb. 17 fight at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England went on sale and WBSS organizers announced that they had sold out in seven minutes.
“This is clearly the fight everyone wanted and I am sure this super fight will capture not only a nation but a generation of fight fans,” promoter Kalle Sauerland said. “The build-up is going to be huge and we can’t wait to go to Manchester for a sold-out event between two spectacular rivals and world class fighters.”
