George Groves will return to the ring for the first time since his loss to Badou Jack when he headlines a card at the Copper Box in January.

The 27-year-old, whose third attempt at landing a world title ended in a split-decision defeat to WBC super middleweight champion Jack in September, will fight on January 30 against an unnamed opponent.

Groves' first taste of a world-title bout ended in a controversial defeat to Carl Froch, before a rematch ended with the Londoner being knocked out in the eighth round at Wembley stadium.

''I'm looking forward to boxing in London again," said Groves, who has won 21 of his 24 professional fights.

"This is a chance for me start the new year on the front foot. I want to get as many fights as possible and start building momentum as I work my way back into world title contention.''
