When Carl Froch and George Groves went toe-to-toe towards the end of 2013, the boxing world was certainly interested. This fight crushed the small expectations fans had held and now a rematch set for May 31st at London's famous Wembley stadium. The world will certainly be watching Froch vs Groves II. Tickets went on sale today (Monday March 10th), and it appears the pair are fighting hard to wait that long.

The pair was at Wembley stadium for a series of interviews and promotional events today but this proved too much for the fighters who evidently hate one another. After insults were exchanged, Froch started to push Gorves, showing that this is indeed one of the hottest boxing rivalries the world has ever seen. 

An initial allocation of 60,000 tickets were put on sale, with the option of extending it. There appears there will be no shortage of interest, as this fight could break British and international boxing attendance records. Everybody wants to see the fight that they believed never finished fairly in 2013. Froch kept his WBA and IBF super-middleweight titles with a stoppage that Groves, and the world, disagreed with. It seems Groves has calmed now as he told Sky Sports, "Well this is it, everything for a reason," and he continued saying "It was a stone-wall robbery last time. Everyone knows it, the IBF know it, that's why they have instated me as mandatory with an immediate rematch that is now taking place."

With a long, hard training schedule full of promotional events and much more, can the pair wait to get in the ring or will tempers flare before May 31st?
