'Saint' George Groves has announced he will return to action on October 30th at London's historic York Hall in Bethnal Green in a defence of his Commonwealth Super-middleweight crown.

Headlining live on Sky Sports, the fight will be the fourth outing this year for the Saint and will mark a welcome return to London for the Hammersmith man and his fans following trips to Manchester and Las Vegas.

"It's really exciting, it's going to be a great show, and I'm really looking forward to getting back in action in London where everyone can come and see me box. They don't have to travel like for my last fight where a few people had to travel all the way to America to see me box", enthused Groves.

An opponent is yet to be named and Groves admitted to being frustrated by the landscape of the current domestic scene.

"I'm not trying to seek out easier opposition, I'm not trying to dodge the big guns, I feel they're trying to avoid me, that's how it seems at the moment", said Groves.

"No one more evidently than Carl 'Dodger' Dilks, who all summer has been saying he wants to fight me, but as soon as things start coming together he announces he's scheduled to fight James 'Destined to fail', for allegedly less money and for definitely a meaningless title."

With Dilks now scheduled to fight James DeGale in a British title final eliminator and Kenny Anderson and Tony Quigley squaring off in another final eliminator, it's widely expected that the winners will meet for that title, should current champion Paul Smith vacate as expected after his next fight. That would make it extremely difficult for Groves to box for the British title in the near future, as the 22 year-old explained:

"I feel I need to explain the situation. People are asking me when am I going to be fighting for the British title and I don't want people to think I'm trying to avoid that.

"I'm being phased out. The reason that I don't have an opponent yet for the Commonwealth title defence on October 30th is these guys are tied up with the British title - I feel like I'm being avoided.

"But don't panic, my team are working on it now, to bring in some top quality opposition on October 30th and it's going to be a really good show."
