Deep cut puts George Groves headline fight at Wembley Arena in doubt

British champion George Groves suffers a bad cut in his fight on Saturday night that puts his headline appearance on September 14 at Wembley Arena in doubt.

Unbeaten British and Commonwealth champion George Groves's September appearance at Wembley Arena has been put in doubt by a deep cut suffered in his return on Saturday.

Groves put in a strong showing against Francisco Sierra, knocking out the Mexican banger in the sixth round in an exciting display.

The Hayemaker fighter was injured in the process, suffering a deep cut above his eye in a clash of heads in the second round of the bout.

Groves was scheduled to headline a show promoted by Frank Warren at Wembley Arena on September 14, most likely against domestic rival Kenny Anderson.

The cut may take a number of weeks to heal, putting a return fight in the capital in some jeopardy.

Groves's knockout win in San Jose, California improved Saint's unbeaten record to 15-0.
