Carl Froch: 'I'm not concerned about facing George Groves at Wembley'

Carl Froch insists that he has no problem of facing George Groves in his home city ahead of the pair's rematch at Wembley.

Carl Froch has insisted that he is not concerned about the prospect of facing George Groves at Wembley.

It was confirmed on Monday that the rematch between the two fighters would take place at the stadium in London on May 31, following reports that Froch would get his wish of facing Groves in his home city of Nottingham.

However, Froch claims that a bout in London was finally agreed as he wanted to make sure that there were no complaints of home advantage after the fight.

"When we sort of announced that we are looking at Nottingham Forest, we're looking at Wembley, we're looking at the Emirates, there were a few people complaining about me having hometown advantage," the 36-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"I didn't like that because the job I'm going to do on George Groves is going to be so conclusive. I don't want anyone to say he had the crowd. I don't want any excuses. No more whingers."

Froch beat Groves in the first fight between the two in November.
