Promoter Frank Warren has confirmed that George Groves' British Super-Middleweight title defence against Kenny Anderson will headline the Wembley Arena on Friday 16th March. The fight will be televised live and exclusive on the New Home of Boxing,BoxNation (Sky Ch. 456 / Virgin Ch. 546).
Warren this week won the purse bids to stage the fight which will be a rematch of their November 2010 war that saw Groves heavily floored in the third round, only to come back and stop the Edinburgh hardman in the sixth.
Hammersmith star Groves, 23, says he will have the edge on experience to deal with Anderson and that this time he will make it much easier.
"Anderson did well to get to the mandatory position and I'm more than happy to take him on again," Said Groves.
"I'm really going to relish it this time around and I'll do a much better job on him. Since I beat him I've faced a much higher calibre of opponent than he has and picked up much more experience against the likes of James DeGale and Paul Smith,"
"With the tougher fights my confidence has come on loads especially after the way I won my last fight against Smith and I believe that I'm a much better fighter now,"
"It will be far more one-sided this time, he's a strong man, but I won't let him get in the fight at all - it will all be one-way traffic,"
"That doesn't mean I'm underestimating him, he'll be out to beat me and I'll be training harder than ever against him,"
"It's great that the fight will be live on BoxNation after making such an explosive debut on the channel and the fans are going to be in for a treat."

Warren said, "The British Boxing Board of Control ordered the fight and I'm delighted to win it and bring yet another great quality fight to BoxNation,"
"Anderson complained that he didn't get enough notice to prepare the first time, but he's got plenty of notice this time."
"The first fight was exciting and I'm sure that the rematch will live up to all expectations.



This is a classic example of an interview before a big fight as this interview shows how each of the fighters and the people connected to the fight feel and the promoters idea is to hype the audience up as this shows the tension around the fight and with that the fight should be full of action which is what the audience wants. This is one of Frank Warren Promotions advertising techniques as this gives the audience an insight to the recent events regarding the up coming fights and this will help keep the audience tuned in as they will want to hear/ see whats happening. Wembley has a capacity of around 12,500.
