The World Boxing Super Series didn't take too long to throw up a fight for people to really talk about.

WBA (Super) super-middleweight Champion George Groves fights IBO super-middleweight Champion Chris Eubank Jr in the first semi-final of the weight class' bracket on Saturday night, with both men knowing they'll be strong favourites for the final.

The all-British clash has naturally brought about all the hype that you'd imagine, from tickets selling out in seven minutes to the rest of British boxing giving their predictions.

Tony Bellew made it clear that he felt the 29-year-old Groves was the firm favourite, with Bellew going as far as saying he can make it easy.

"I just believe this is George Groves fight to lose. He has everything in his favour! If he loses this he will only have himself to blame. He can make this easy imo," he said on Twitter.

Carl Froch has backed Eubank to overcome his opponent's size and power but did have a warning to go with it.

"Trust me, he can punch and even against a proper super-middleweight, he is big," he told Sky Sports. "Groves is actually not just a decent boxer but one who can punch. Hard."

Eubank does indeed give up size to Groves but he recently explained why that wouldn't be a problem - due to a sparring session he had in a Cuban warehouse.

"I went there and sparred with one of the ­middleweights, who ­expected a technical spar," explained Eubank. "But I went in, I tried to take his head off and I hurt him.

“It didn’t go down well with the Cuba team, but I didn’t know it was supposed to be a technical spar.

“I went back the next day and they’ve got the ­super-heavyweight there waiting for me – he was literally twice my size."

That super-heavyweight was Erislandy Savon - the Cuban fighter who controversially lost to Anthony Joshua at the 2012 Olympics by a single point.

“They are all speaking Spanish and I didn’t know what was going on but the head trainer is basically ­telling this guy to beat the c**p out of me," he continued. “Savon knocked me out of the ring in the second round, and I fell backwards out of the ropes on to ­concrete.

“This place was ­basically just an abandoned warehouse. I couldn’t feel my leg but I got back in and ­finished the spar.

“That was kind of like my lesson: ‘Don’t come here and think you’re the big dog’.

“I got back in the ring, took my beating like a man, and that was the day I ­realised how badly I wanted to be a fighter.

“But I also realised how solid my chin is because he didn’t knock me out.

“If a super-heavyweight didn’t knock me out, why would I worry about people like Groves?”

Assuming Eubank is telling the truth, Groves may have to rely on more than his power on Saturday night.
