LONDON -- The highly anticipated rematch between British fighters Carl Froch and George Groves for the WBA and IBF super-middleweight titles will be at Wembley Stadium on May 31. Dmitry Orlov Jersey . Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed the venue on Tuesday. With Wembley able to seat up to 90,000, the fight is expected to set a post-World War II attendance record for a boxing match in Britain. The record is 56,000 in 2008 for Ricky Hatton-Juan Lazcano at the City of Manchester Stadium. "Its brilliant news for many, many reasons," the London-born Groves said. "This is a huge fight. It needed to go to an impressive stadium and Wembley is top of the list. For me personally, its going to be a great night. I was at that record-breaking Hatton fight, wow, what an atmosphere. Were going to have the same this time round, except Im going to put Carl Froch to sleep as well. Theyve got that to look forward to." Froch retained his WBA and IBF titles with a ninth-round stoppage against Groves in Manchester on Nov. 23. Groves launched an appeal, saying referee Howard Foster stopped the fight prematurely, and the IBF then ordered a rematch. Frochs belts will be at stake again at the historic football ground. Wembley staff will be facing a tight deadline to get the stadium ready in time after an England-Peru football friendly just 24 hours earlier. Nicklas Backstrom Jersey . The Maple Leafs may not have had a pick until the third round, but they have made the biggest move of the second day of the Draft, dealing defenceman Carl Gunnarsson and a fourth-round pick in the draft to the St. Jakub Vrana Jersey .Y. - Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs didnt flinch in the face of adversity.Nick Dougherty announced last week that the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship would be his final event as a professional golfer, and he is looking forward to continuing his role as a Sky Sports commentator. But was that really the end? Yes it was! Ive committed to that, and it is the right choice. Theres a part of me thats obviously a little sad as its the end of an era for me. Being a golfer is all Ive ever known really. Nick and his wife Di pause for a snap on the Swilken Bridge during his final Tour event But Ive been lucky over the last couple of years or so to find something else I really enjoy doing, and its been great to be part of the Sky Sports broadcasting team. There have been a few things that contributed to my decision to retire as a player. My game has not been good over the last few seasons, although I threw everything at it in trying to recapture my best form. Unfortunately, it just wasnt getting any better. Dougherty led the US Open at Oakmont in 2007, and played with Tiger Woods in the third round I also found it hard to commit so much, its difficult to retain the hunger and desire to play when youre a bit older and have a young family. When youre in a hole, you need that hunger to help dig yourself out of it and I didnt have that. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. I get much more of a buzz doing what I do now, so its definitely the right choice for me moving forward. And Im lucky that I still gget to work within the same industry. Nic Dowd Jersey. Nick won three European Tour titles in his career I still love to play, and I will always play, and who knows what might happen down the line. You should never say never, but my immediate future is decided and its one without golf clubs in my hand in terms of playing competitive golf on the European Tour.At least I signed off with a really fun week at the Home of Golf. It was nice to have Di up there with me, and I was very pleased with how I played. I should have made the cut, but it was ironic that my putting - the one part of my game that has been consistently good - let me down. Dougherty is now established in the Sky Sports commentary team, and starred in the Open Zone at Royal Troon My long game has been the big issue for me in recent years, but I actually hit the ball really well all week. But being realistic, with the little amount Ive played this year, I was quite happy with how it went.It was the ideal place for me to bow out, its always been a special place for me and Di as we got married in St Andrews. I couldnt think of a better place to say farewell.Watch the British Masters throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.
