    George Groves was one of the top super middleweights of his time, reaching the mountain top when he won the WBA super middleweight title with a 7th-round stoppage of Fedor Chudinov in 2017. Groves was also involved in a pair of huge fights vs Carl Froch, defeated Chris Eubank Jr en route to reaching the World Boxing Super Series final before losing to current WBO interim light heavyweight champion Callum Smith and retiring in 2019.

    Jermall Charlo did his part in setting up a fight vs Caleb Plant.

    Should Plant (23-2, 14 KOs) and Charlo (33-0, 22 KOs) win their respective fights, they'll likely face each other later in 2025. The latest betting odds from DraftKings heavily favor Plant and Charlo, making their eventual meeting feel like a formality as long as everything goes according to plan. Still, anything can happen in boxing. On May 2, Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia fought in separate bouts at Times Square in New York with plans for them to meet in a rematch in Saudi Arabia later in 2025.
