Carl Froch and George Groves in action during their IBF & WBA World Super Middleweight Title fight on November 23, 2013

On November 23, 2013, George Groves took on Carl Froch in Manchester, attempting to take the senior boxer's IBF and WBA super-middleweight titles. Froch was controversially awarded a TKO victory by referee Howard Foster in the ninth round, before which Groves had widely been considered to be ahead. In January 2014, the IBF ordered a rematch between the pair and on February 13, it was confirmed that Groves and Froch had agreed upon a date of May 31.
