Groves to fight Douglin in November

British super-middleweight George Groves has confirmed that he will fight American Denis Douglin on November 22 at Liverpool's Echo Arena.

The 26-year-old, who lost back-to-back title fights to Carl Froch, will face Douglin on the undercard of the rematch between Nathan Cleverly and Tony Bellew next month.

Groves, who is the mandatory challenger for Anthony Dirrell's WBC title, announced plans to take on Douglin, whose nickname is 'Momma's Boy', on Sky Sports News.

Groves became mandatory challenger by beating Christopher Rebrasse on points last month.
