George Groves Names Britain’s Brightest Boxing Prospects

Lucas Roehrig Identified by Groves

When asked who he believes are the biggest rising stars of British boxing, Groves said: “The one that always shoots to mind is Moses Itauma. But my dude Lucas Roehrig (4-0, 2 KOs), cruiserweight and 4-0. He’s boxing on the Josh Kelly card up in Newcastle. The sixth of June. His opponent is French and has got a winning record, looks good. There’s not a lot of footage of him.”

“Does that make it tougher to train for? But also you’re prepping for the future, prepping for anyone. But Lucas has just turned 22. He’s gonna fill out what muscles he’s still got, you know, there’s a boyishness to him. Even though he has a six pack, you can see that once he starts to fill out who’s he’s going to be massive. But we’re keeping him busy, he’s a fantastic prospect for sure,” added Groves.

Groves Praises Moses Itauma

Moses Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs) has been discussed by many in the boxing world following his last two devastating KO wins against Demsey McKean and Mike Balogun. His talents are attracting much attention and Groves said: “A word on Moses too, I think he has one of the best boxing brains in the heavyweight division.

“So he is a very skillful fighter, obviously he’s got much more to do to become a complete fighter. But lots of the heavyweights are big guys, strong guys, maybe good athletes in that field, but not natural with a vast boxing IQ but Moses does.”
