Quality video mate, I look forward to more in the future

[@john_the_boxer]

This was a brilliant interview. George Groves was/is great for boxing. Thanks for the upload 🥊

[@michaelmarriott11]

Achieved a dream of a world title. Made some money. Got out with all his faculties. George won. Respect.

[@DEEDUBZ]

100%

[@mattdevereux5940]

sensible isn't it. got out bang at the right time. did as well as he could.

[@villavilla07]

Well said.

[@topman.9646]

How every boxer wants it to go but only 0.1% achieve!

[@markdavis8430]

Well put mate!

[@mattsnap3986]

Great British people's fighter in grovesy. Broken jaw he got off the stool, dislocated shoulder he got off the stool. British boxing legend to be proud of.

[@DG-jo5lw]

100% such a tough skilful fighter. Had a proper up down career went through a lot of adversity

[@tommyboy.9246]

Yep one of the best British boxers we’ve had Quality inside and outside of the ring 🥊👍🏼

[@dwaynedibley997]

Yep He’s one of my favourites for sure .. he destroyed Froch in the first fight and I love Froch loosing to him is not a big deal the guys a legend .. the only blemish on his record for me was the badou jack fight he didn’t seem to turn up and I don’t rate jack at all.. the Callum smith fight he was clearly not recovered from the shoulder injury .

[@darrenhill5802]

DDD takes a few stiff jabs and bows to Joe Joyce

[@karlt1987]

And then retired from boxing and ate the stool by the looks of it.

[@andydrew010101]

If you hated George Groves as a fighter then he did his job selling the fight and adding spice. If you hate him now then you need to ask yourself what sort of person you are.

[@Jasontvnd9]

Brilliantly said.

[@frankzappa951]

Indeed

[@Lewi_4554]

Great comment

[@tier4505]

Much better bloke than Froch when all said and done.

[@jackbranning7267]

Bad boy fighter he was.

[@map2930]

I’ve always liked and respected George Groves. When he beat James De Gale that’s when I started to take notice of Him. He had a great career and realised his dream of becoming world champion something other fighters are still struggling to accomplish. He got out the game with all his faculties in tact and can move forward now and enjoy raising his kids without hopefully having to struggle to pay the bills. With the Internet and social media as an available tool to making a living, he can move on and add to his already gained riches. Well done George, you done great and will be remembered as a great fighter and a great person.

[@map2930]

By the way always loved the Firestarter ring entrance, always got me going before the bell rung.

[@aaronsamuels5849]

“We can all have a pull about, all pull about a little bit” one of my favourite boxing moments of all time 😂 that Froch vs Grooves moment classic.

[@ecosse543]

Spent most of his adult life in a gym constantly being in shape and making weight for fights. He is allowed now to fatten up and just be natural.

[@Dan-dd8cf]

His hairline isn't natural

[@MrBollocks10]

Natural? Nature can be cruel.

[@rigs7748]

Great fighter George was so happy for him when he got his world title, thoroughly deserved👍🏻 great character to have in the sport aswell

[@spannerintheworks1190]

5:38 "how many people were there?" Loving the cryptic joke and how they both laughed.

[@7th.trumpet]

Absolutely schooling Ebank Jr, with a dislocated shoulder 🤣🤣 that alone gets my respect 👏🏻👏🏻

[@garethhancock8525]

I agree, but eubank also had dislocated shoulder, so that made it an even fight, so best man won

[@mortalitysfatal3229]

Yeah a very very very green Eubank JR With very little amateur background 👏👏👏

George Groves with the Rubik's Cube. Everything for a reason.

[@tarkwharton8750]

Watched a lot off groves interviews but i remeber one he did on the radio...before the the first froch fight...liked him and followed him since true warrior

[@tonygudgeon3710]

I've watched this interview 3 times in 2 days, I've really enjoyed it and it's interesting to fill in all the gaps that were once unknown, Groves was a fearless fighter and a true gentleman

[@eb2982]

It's great isnt it. I watched it over 2 days at work doing mains boards in cupboards. Really really enjoyed every minute of it. GG was in his prime before i got hooked on boxing so it was nice to hear the old stories etc. Well worth the watch!

[@justmyster1976]

Probably need to get yourself a girlfriend mate, or just concentrate better. 3 times in 2 days? WTF.

[@dannyboihenson]

People making out he’s fat ffs 🤦‍♂️ he’s walking around at his natural weight with a bit of added extra. He ain’t dropping 2 stone to make super middleweight now you clowns

[@olig7336]

People calling him fat are probably fatter than him! And he’s a married young rich man he’s allowed to look however the fuck he wants to

[@imonlytellingthetruth6562]

I seriously liked watching George’s fights , great fighter and seems an even better fella,

[@JayChambers83]

Being a fan of Froch naturally I enjoyed seeing George get sparked at Wembley. However, you can’t help but admire his determination to achieve his dream of being a world champion. He certainly did it the hard way and deserves all the fruits of his Labour. He never gave up on himself and succeeded; and now can enjoy retirement in good health. Good luck to the bloke.

[@bendaniels967]

Man's enjoying his food! Fair play, sound guy and great fighter

[@tq6892]

A hated this guy early in his career and now I have nothing but admiration and respect for him. A true warrior and I celebrated like a lunatic in an East London pub when he won that world title. Great fighter, enjoy your retirement.

[@mathew7880]

Listened to this multiple times. Easily one of the best boxing interviews I've ever heard. Tris' line of questioning gets all this great information and stories out. Also Groves = British boxing legend. The Froch and Eubank Jr fights are way up there for domestic dust ups both in terms of the build up and fight nights.

[@Craggles365]

I can’t believe it’s almost 3 hours felt like 30 mins, top interview.

[@richardfairs4871]

Great interview. Seems like a proper nice bloke and different personality to many in boxing. He did it his way and hope he finds real happiness after boxing

[@sammerchant2522]

He basically managed himself during the Froch fight, interesting insight into what goes on behind the scenes

[@omarlaska3749]

Can’t tell you how much I’ve looked forward this one!

[@kayz1553]

One of the most articulate and knowledgable boxers out there.

Was brought up on boxing due to my dad but George was the first boxer of my generation to get me really into the sport can only thank you for that dude!

[@fredw3425]

Groves got me into boxing when I was younger, was devastated when he lost to froch but generally had a tear in my eye when he finally got his world title

A really honest interview, great questions and truthful answers. That first Froch fight, I remember when I was watching it live that George had his number from Round One, so snappy with the jab and great footwork.
