One of this year’s most anticipated fights will finally get underway this Saturday night.
Groves and Eubank Jnr have been locked in an ugly tirade of words in the upcoming months.
With reputations on the line, it is difficult to pick a winner out of this hotly-contested match.
Groves, 29, lost his first world title fight in the Manchester Arena to Carl Froch in 2013.
In that bout, the referee stopped the fight controversially in the ninth round.

But the London-born fighter insists that it will have no bearing on him as he returns.
"I've had good nights here, Manchester is a good place, a fighting city," he said.
"I love the arena, the changing rooms.

“It can be very intimidating and when it's full if you are susceptible to getting intimidated.
“But I think Junior and I are the sort of fighters who will relish the big crowd."
Eubank has revealed just how much it means to him as he prepares for undoubtedly his biggest fight yet.
He said: "I don't feel he's prepared to put everything on the line like I am.
"It might sound clichéd or a bit too dramatic, but I'm willing to die in that ring to win. He's not.
“I won't give up, I won't stop. I won't crumble. He's been definitively beaten by other men, he knows how to lose, he knows how to get knocked out. He shows mental signs of weakness.”
