Former Boxing World Champion George Groves Sport and Life
-
- Sport
George Groves was a hugely successful boxer - World, European, British and Commonwealth Champion - in a storied and high profile career. He retired at the age of 30, having last fought in 2018.
It was also a career born out of adversity and an underdog mindset - George missed out on selection for the 2008 Olympics, but charted a path to the summit of the sport without the huge profile push the Olympics can bring.
George talks candidly about how his rise to prominence wasn't accidental - he visualised and planned each step along the way, including crafting huge rivalries with childhood-friend-turned-nemesis James Degale and established champion Carl Froch. Everything was considered - right down to the clothes he wore to press conferences.
George runs us through his Seven Traits Of a Champion that can be easily transferred from professional boxing to everyday life.
