Froch to take on Groves

Carl Froch has confirmed that he will defend his IBF and WBA super-middleweight titles against George Groves later this year.

The fight between the two Brits is expected to take place on November 23, but a date has not yet been made official.

"It's a real treat for the fans," Froch told Sky Sports News. "It's a domestic fight.

"I'll fight anybody. I've proved that throughout my career. I'm not going to say 'no' to a match against a British fighter."

Froch unified the IBF and WBA super-middleweight belts in May when he defeated Mikkel Kessler in London. Meanwhile, Groves is unbeaten in 19 professional contests.
