George Groves to join up with trainer Paddy Fitzpatrick

George Groves has announced that Paddy Fitzpatrick will take on training duties ahead of his bout against Carl Froch in two months' time.

The 25-year-old split with former trainer Adam Booth, who had been in Groves's camp since 2008, last week.

"Paddy and I have worked closely together in the past and already have a very good relationship, one built over many years," BBC Sport quotes Groves as saying.

"Not only has he worked my corner for important fights, we have also spent a lot of time together when abroad on training camps, where Paddy has overseen a number of significant sessions."

Groves's WBA and IBF world title fight will go ahead in Manchester on November 23.
