George Groves claims that he would be open to meeting James DeGale in a British stadium this summer.

George Groves has claimed that he would be open to meeting James DeGale for a second time at a British stadium this summer.

DeGale is currently the mandatory challenger to the vacant IBF title, which has been vacated by Carl Froch, and there have been suggestions that he could meet either Groves or Andre Dirrell, who is next in line for a title bout.

However, Groves believes that a bout at the O2 Arena in April should be overlooked in favour of a fight at a London football ground this summer.

"This is a big fight. If James is clever enough and thinks to himself 'I can't beat Groves, it's my chance to win a few quid' why cash out in April? Let's do it in the summer and make some real money," the 26-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"Will we ever sell out Wembley again? I'm not sure but when they put on big shows at Upton Park, Lofus Road, these are historic events and boxing events fans can go to. They remember it, they want to be part of it and I am no different.

"I want to box at Stamford Bridge, so if James wants to fight me, why not do it at Stamford Bridge in the summer."

DeGale beat Groves on a majority decision when the two Brits met in 2011.
