Christopher Rebrasse (22-2-3, 6 KOs) has arrived in London ready to defend his European Super Middleweight crown in a WBC World title final eliminator against George Groves (19-2, 15 KOs).

Today at a media workout at Stonebridge Boxing Club the Frenchman shared his thoughts ahead of Saturday night’s fight at the SSE Arena, Wembley.

Said Rebrasse: ‘’I’m very happy to be here and I’m looking forward to Saturday night. Groves is a good boxer but I am ready to do whatever it takes to get the win. I cannot say whether I will beat Groves inside the distance or after the final bell but I am confident I will win. I’ve come to London as the champion and I will be leaving as the champion.’’

Rebrasse has travelled with coach Laurent Boucher. As fight night approaches Boucher believes his fighter is primed to cause an upset in Wembley. ‘’Christopher is in great shape. We’ve trained hard and we’ve trained smart. He may be the underdog but that is when he is at his most dangerous. He will make a big statement on Saturday night by beating Groves on his home turf.’’

Return of the Saint: Groves vs. Rebrasse is available to watch live on Sky Sports. Tickets are available via ssearena.co.uk and axs.com or by calling 08448 24 48 24.
