Carl Froch has insisted that he is willing to be "the good guy" during his super middleweight bout against George Groves.

The pair will face off at the Phones4U Arena in Manchester on Saturday, and Froch believes that he is the more popular of the two fighters.

"Groves is British and he's horrible and I don't think anybody likes him, which always helps make a fight big," Sporting Life quotes Froch as saying.

"It's goodie versus baddie and I'm willing to be the good guy. George Groves has very much made himself the bad guy because of his disrespect and the way in which he's conducted himself during this build-up."
