WBA super middleweight champion George Groves says he would be forced to get operation on his left shoulder, which he injured in the final 12th round in a duel against Chris Eubank Jr. on February 17 in Manchester. Thus, the final of World Boxing Super Series at the super middleweight will be postponed until July. Initially, Groves and Callum Smith, the second finalist, were due to meet on June 2 in London.
"Today I have a minor operation on the damaged shoulder," Groves wrote in one of the social networks on Monday, February 26. - The good news is that I will be able to enter the ring in July. We will be applying to the WBSS for a one month extension and are hopeful of securing this".
