Fight fans are getting their predictions in thick and fast ahead of a huge night this weekend in Manchester between Chris Eubank Jr and George Groves.

The two men will contest the WBA super-middleweight championship of the world in what promises to be an early fight of the year candidate.

The bookmakers have it a dead even 50-50 fight with people arguing back and forth at the moment over different ways either fighter could win.

One notable fighter in the form of Liverpool heavyweight Tony Bellew has now gone on the record with his call:

This fight excites me and I’m tipping Groves on points in a brilliant fight! Don’t be surprised if he actually stops him! HUGE supermiddle against a small middle imo! Only things he has on Groves is workrate and youth.. People get caught up in HYPE so much.. ? https://t.co/lGx6kpxUIV

Indeed, many think the smart money is on a Groves points win.

Given his perceived better boxing ability and his longer reach which he may use to frustrating effect against Eubank.

A lot hinges on what type of Groves or Eubank turns up of course.

On the night, anything can happen in a fight of this magnitude.
