Commonwealth champ believes The Cobra's focus is elsewhere
British and Commonwealth super-middleweight champion George Groves insists he is in no hurry to fight Carl Froch.
Groves enjoyed a stellar 2011 as he toppled Olympic champion James DeGale in a fierce grudge match before seeing off the highly-rated Paul Smith with a second-round stoppage.
The 23-year-old appears to be destined for a world title shot in the next two years, but an all-British clash against Froch, who lost his WBC belt to WBA champion Andre Ward in Atlantic City last month, is a prospect many in the boxing world would like to see first.
And although Groves is up for fighting Froch in the near future, he admits he would be wasting his time if he were to start sounding out the Nottingham-based 'Cobra' now.
"A fight with Froch would be a big British fight and that's what gets people really excited, but he is not interested in fighting me," Groves said. - http://www1.skysports.com/
