Frank Warren Promotions will announce date and site at a press conference on Monday but Groves will of course get home advantage against a dangerous opponent whose sole loss - against Dane Lolenga Mock in a EU title fight - was very disputed and the EBU in fact ordered a rematch that however never took place.
