Your fight-size boxing update:

– If you’re hoping to get an announcement regarding the date and location of the World Boxing Super Series super middleweight finals anytime soon, WBA champion and WBSS finalist George Groves has some news for you as even he doesn’t know. Groves posted the following tweet voicing his displeasure at the lack of news regarding his upcoming finals matchup against Callum Smith.

I wonder if @WBSuperSeries will ever set a fight date for the SM final!? –‍

Probably not. Oh well, might as well go running just in case there’s a sniff of a chance someone — something they haven’t told us all yet.

Again probably not.
