I heard it was offered to him, but surprised he took it, thought Eddie might talk him out of it. Froch dropped Groves in sparring and made him earn his money a bit didn't he?Groves going over has been known for quite some time. I think both Kessler and Froch mentioned it on ringside. I don't think there's much love lost between Groves and Froch tbh.
Not heard about Cleverly though. Good work for both, that.
