My missus has had to put up with me boxing. I'll be able to spend some better time with them and not always have to put boxing first. So that's good for me. I'll enjoy that part of life.
Quote by -George Groves
The more successful a promoter becomes, the more ruthless they've got to be.
Quote by -George Groves
When I become world champion, what do I need? I need opponents, I need someone to pick a venue, negotiate a date, and I need a promoter.
Quote by -George Groves
If I'm confident in my ability to do something, I never get nervous about it. If I was to get up and try to sing in front of 50,000 people, I'd fall to pieces. But boxing, I find it really comfortable.
Quote by -George Groves
Any fight, if you prepare correctly and you're ready for it, you should be just there to enjoy it.
Quote by -George Groves
If I didn't want to fight Carl Froch then I wouldn't have invested so much time and money into appealing with the IBF over the dubious outcome of the first fight.
Quote by -George Groves
On fight night I feel alive and full of tingles. You feel your blood flow hot but that's how we like it. We're mammals, we're warm-blooded creatures.
Quote by -George Groves
Once I've got that world title I'll never want to lose it. I'll fight tooth and nail to keep it.
Quote by -George Groves
Ultimately, it's down to the individual. Some people are born to perform. Some people need to work hard to control themselves.
Quote by -George Groves
I like to keep my normal life under wraps but in front of 80,000 people, I'm going to perform.
Quote by -George Groves
I never get nervous and I'm always very confident to the point where some people think I'm cocky.
Quote by -George Groves
In boxing you can be the most talented fighter out there but you need people to watch and I'm fortunate that I'm in that situation.
Quote by -George Groves
I know enough about the business to look after myself now. I don't trust anyone else to take care of business.
Quote by -George Groves
You decide whether you want to box on, or not. And for me of course, I wasn't going to be leaving the business until becoming a world champion, and defending it numerous times.
Quote by -George Groves
Badou Jack is a great fighter, but there is a lot that he does that I do better. I have enough power to take him out.
Quote by -George Groves
Rebrasse was a good opponent, a tough guy, he took an awful lot of punches. I knew it was going to be tough. I didn't want to run out of steam, I felt in great condition but you always have to be cautious against a guy who has never been stopped.
Quote by -George Groves
I will beat Carl Froch every night of the week and it doesn't matter if it is the best Carl Froch or the worst Carl Froch.
Quote by -George Groves
Chudinov is one of the toughest guys I fought. It was only the slump of his shoulders that made me think he's hurt because there's no grimace, or rolling eyes. He was never going down.
Quote by -George Groves
The Eubanks are very different. If you look at the promotional videos they've done it's a bit 'Homes Under the Hammer.'
Quote by -George Groves
I am an old man and sometimes I struggle to keep up with some of the youngsters on the circuits. But at the same time, it is keeping me young.
Quote by -George Groves
I've won junior titles, ABA titles and boxed for England all over the world against future Olympic champions as an amateur - and then beat world-class fighters as a professional.
Quote by -George Groves
I used to hear other boxers talk about levels and it used to frustrate me. But now I understand: sometimes it doesn't matter how much you prepare, there are just people you can't beat.
Quote by -George Groves
I've never been the biggest boxing fan. If I know the guy I will watch him. But if it's two great fighters and I don't know either of them then I won't bother.
Quote by -George Groves
I've earned some decent money, and bragging rights, and boxed on a Floyd Mayweather undercard in Vegas... but it's a fraction of what I set out to do.
Quote by -George Groves
If you are very nervous, it is going to affect you and you start feeling tired or anxiety sets in.
Quote by -George Groves
When friends started smoking at 16 or drinking at 18, I made myself not follow. No lads' holidays, all that stuff.
