Froch, Groves make weight for world title clash

IBF and WBA super-middleweight champion Carl Froch and challenger George Groves have both made weight ahead of their showdown on Saturday night.

Froch was marginally under the 168lbs limit, while Groves weighed in almost two pounds lighter than the title holder just over 24 hours before the bout at the Phones4U Arena in Manchester.

The 36-year-old is looking to hand Groves his first professional defeat, after the 25-year-old moved into a mandatory position to challenge for his two world belts.
