EDMONTON, Canada– The postponed first-season finale of the World Boxing Super Series’ (WBSS) super middleweight division will take place this Friday (Sette. 28), when World Boxing Association (WBA) super campione del mondo dei pesi medi “Santo” George Groves is challenged by undefeated fellow Brit, Callum “mondo” Fabbro, to air live from Jeddah, Arabia Saudita, a partire da 2 p.m. E / 11 a.m. PT, exclusively on Super Channel in Canada.
Super Channel ha acquisito i diritti esclusivi in Canada per trasmettere il World Boxing Super Series da MP & Silva, una delle principali media company internazionale che fornisce diritti media, digitale, tecnologie e servizi di sponsorizzazione.
Groves vs. Fabbro, presentato da Sauerland Event, was postponed from its originally planned June 2 date due to Groves’ shoulder surgery from an injury he suffered in his February17th WBSS semifinals 12-round unanimous decision victory against Chris Eubank, Jr.
The 30-year-old Groves (28-3, 20 KO), fighting out of London, knocked out defending WBA super middleweight champion Fedor Chudinov (14-1) in the sixth round of their May 27, 2017 lotta per il titolo.
His first title defense was a fourth-round stoppage of Jaime Cox in the opening round of the WBSS, followed this past Feb. with his aforementioned win over Eubank (26-1). In addition to Chudinov, Non. 1 -tournament seeded Groves has defeated world champions Glen Johnson e James DeGale, “It has been a long preparation for the fight. I am fit, I am healthy, Ho messo nel lavoro.
“This will be the toughest test yet in the tournament, but I am boxing better than ever, and I don’t see Callum posing a threat, I expect another comfortable win. We are preparing for the very best Smith possible. We know what to do and I am capable of it, I just need to get it done.”
Fabbro (24-0, 17 KO), 28, won a 12-round unanimous decision from previously undefeated Erik Sjoglund (26-0) in the WBSS opening round. The Liverpool boxer whose three brothers are boxers was supposed to fight former WBA and WBO light heavyweight Juergen Braehmer in the WBSS semifinal round, but Braehmer pulled out and he was replaced late by unbeaten Nicky Holken (13-0), who Smith defeated by way of a 12-round unanimous decision.
“I am in a good place, feeling good,” WBC Diamond belt holder Smith commented. “I feel comfortable in winning. I just feel I am a better fighter than anyone he has fought in this tournament. I feel confident I will come out on top. The fans should be in for a treat, I am looking forward to becoming a world champion.”
