QUOTES BY George Groves


Motivational talks are something I have been asked to do and i fancy taking a crack at it.

In 2017, I boxed in front of a home crowd in Sheffield and became the WBA super-middleweight world champion. After four attempts I had finally fulfilled my childhood dream, and the experience was as great as I had always imagined it would be. It was without doubt the best moment of my career.

It's iconic, it's Wembley. When I go running up Primrose Hill you can see the arch. It's a great thing and it's a proud spot for London.

I don't want there to be a time where I'm 'too old' to box on, or where an injury retires me in or out of the ring.

I have always wanted to be European champion, because it is a fantastic title and so many great boxers have held the belt over the years.

If you're driving home and your kids are playing up in the back seat, I'm pretty sure that's taxing. You're trying to hold your composure, you're trying not to shout at them.

When friends started smoking at 16 or drinking at 18, I made myself not follow. No lads' holidays, all that stuff.

Brits love a road trip supporting a British fighter.

If you are very nervous, it is going to affect you and you start feeling tired or anxiety sets in.
