Eubank: Groves is going to get annihilated

Eubank Jr entered the ring after the fight and told ITV Sport: "It was a good fight, [Groves] did what he had to win, not too many cuts and bruises so it looks like we're on for January.

"Now we've got the super fight for the fans. That's what we wanted."

The 28-year-old was then interviewed by iFL TV. Asked what will happen when he meets Groves in January, Eubank Jr responded: “A knockout is polite with what’s going to happen to George Groves. He’s going to get annihilated.”

Groves responds to Eubank Jr's threat

Groves was interviewed by the same YouTube channel a little while later and was told what Eubank Jr had said.

In response, Groves said: “I haven’t watched Eubank’s last fight. I saw the [Arthur] Abraham fight - I was ringside - I wasn’t really that impressed, to be honest.

“It was a step up for Abraham, on paper, and he was more nervous than I’ve seen him before. He was taking long breathers, lots of showboating.

“[Eubank] hasn’t boxed anyone at my level. He hasn’t boxed anyone who’s going to come in and give a great account of himself.

“I didn’t see the fight against Yildirim last week. There have been a couple of sparring stories about Yildirim but other than that… the footage I’ve seen of him online, not that great.

“On paper it was an impressive win but, like I say, he ain’t even boxed anyone like me and he’s going to have to make a big step up and some big adjustments.”

Groves is confident - but Eubank Jr is favourite

Groves, who claims Eubank Jr “doesn’t stand a chance” if he boxes as well as he did against Cox on Saturday, is clearly confident that he can defeat his next opponent in the New Year.

The bookmakers, for what it’s worth, currently have Eubank Jr as the narrow favourite.
