George Groves defeated Chris Eubank Jr. to retain his WBA title in the World Boxing Super Series final on Saturday despite Eubank’s threat of knocking the champ out prior to the fight.

With the victory, Groves' record now stands at 28 wins from 31 fights after inflicting this second defeat of Eubank Jr's 28-fight career

The 29-year-old was patient throughout, preventing his rival from boxing up close by mixing good footwork with solid counter-punches.

A cut above Eubank Jr's right eye in the third round hampered the 28-year-old, who enjoyed joy of his own in a riveting 12th round, where noise in the Manchester Arena reached a crescendo with both men looking vulnerable.

But Groves' poise in parts was key and the 117-112 116-112 115-113 scores on the judges' cards means he will meet either England's Callum Smith or Jurgen Brahmer of Germany in the final.
