Towards the end of 2013 George Groves and Carl Froch went head-to-head for the IBF and WBA super-middleweight world title belt, and it produced one of the best fights the world has seen. The pair are having a rematch at the end of May, due to the early stoppage in the first fight, which angered many. The pair were on British boxing show 'Ringside' tonight, and it seems Groves isn't ready to become friends with his opponent.

The talented, young boxer raised the heat on the shows set, by saying "The thing about Carl Froch is he tells a lot of lies. He's doing his utmost to hold it together but the thing about his lies is that it's all documented - you can see my lip isn't quivering, I'm not turning red (like he said I was). He lost his cool. I don't need to get under his skin - if he winds himself up, that's his problem. The psychological battle can be a massive advantage. Fights can be won and lost before you get into the ring." It seems Groves is ready to let both his mouth and fists do the talking.

Will Groves lose his cool in front of the 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium? He explained "It would never make a difference to me how many people are there. The size of the crowd doesn't matter to me, I'm tuned in to the task at hand. I can deal with the pressure of a crowd. It's going to be electric and just an awesome night of boxing."

Groves did plenty of talking, and a lot more than Froch, as he continued "I have no emotion towards the crowd - I don't crave it and I don't use it as a motivation to make me angry or anything. I deal with sport as a business, you have to be clinical. Training's been going really well and we've got three weeks of hard graft about to start next week and then I'm good to go."

Who will win this battle of Britain? The world will be watching to see who the world champion is at the nights end.
