Carl Froch, George Groves agree highly anticipated rematch for May 31

British super-middleweight rivals Carl Froch and George Groves agree to a May 31 rematch to be held at a football stadium.

British super-middleweight rivals Carl Froch and George Groves have reportedly agreed a rematch to take place at a football stadium on May 31.

The highly anticipated bout initially appeared to be in doubt when the IBF and WBA super-middleweight champion Froch seemed reluctant to sign a deal.

After reports emerged claiming that Groves had rejected a seven-figure offer to fight his rival, the IBF ordered the rematch to take place within the next 90 days.

According to BBC Sport, an agreement has been reached between the two parties, with Arsenal's Emirates and Manchester United's home ground Old Trafford being touted as possible venues for the head to head in three months' time.

Froch's victory back in November ended in controversial circumstances when it was stopped in the ninth round.
