George Groves says he will knockout Carl Froch with left hook



Super-confident challenger George Groves vowed to knock out champion Carl Froch with a left hook on Saturday night at London’s Wembley Stadium.

Froch, known as the Cobra, defends his IBF and regular WBA super-middleweight titles against Groves in one of the most eagerly-anticipated rematches in boxing’s recent history.

Nottingham’s Froch, 36, won by a controversial ninth-round referee’s stoppage in Manchester last November.

But now Londoner Groves, 26, says he will delight the 80,000-strong crowd at the national football stadium with a spectacular finish.

“It’ll be the left hook that finishes Carl Froch on Saturday night,” Groves said.

“Anyone who has watched the media workouts will know we’ve been working on left hooks and the left hook will work.

“I’m going to go out and perform on Saturday night and become world champion and do it on the big stage, looking very good doing it.

“In boxing, you can be the most-talented fighter out there, but you need people to watch and I’m fortunate that I’m in that situation.

“I will arrive on Saturday night. No stone has been left unturned, I’m fully prepared and I just can’t wait.”
