WBA super-middleweight champion Georges Groves (27-3, 20 KOs) advanced to the semifinals of the World Boxing Super Series tournament, stopping fellow Englishman Jamie Cox (23-1, 13 KOs) with a brutal punch to the body in the fourth round of an entertaining battle at London’s Wembley Arena. Groves was the super-middleweight tournament’s #1 seed, therefore he was one of the four seeded fighters allowed to choose their respective quarterfinal opponents from the unseeded side.
Groves’ win sets up a mouthwatering semifinal clash with Chris Eubank Jr (26-1, 20 KOs), and that will surely be a massive fight for the British boxing fans to savor.
