Video: Wembley transforms into boxing arena for Carl Froch vs. George Groves II

Wembley transforms into boxing arena

The national football stadium Wembley was transformed into a boxing arena within 24 hours to host the rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves last Saturday.

During the night before, the England football team were given a World Cup send-off by supporters following a 3-0 victory over Peru.

As soon as fans filtered out of the ground, workers began turning the stadium into a boxing arena by setting up the stage where Froch retained his IBF and WBA super-middleweight belts by securing an eighth-round knockout against Groves.

Following the event, the Football Association released footage of the stadium's transformation.
