Badou Jack says has 'no idea' when his world title fight with George Groves will take place.

The WBC super-middleweight world champion is part of Mayweather Promotions and was originally down to make his first defence against the Brit on August 22, in Las Vegas.

But Jack and Groves found out this week it is being moved back and although it looks like it will be on Floyd Mayweather's September 12 undercard at the MGM Grand, he is none the wiser.

I am in the gym and I am ready to fight. I could fight him tomorrow, the day after, whenever.

"I have no idea," Jack told Behind The Gloves.

"But I am in the gym and I am ready to fight. I could fight him tomorrow, the day after, whenever. I'm ready."

Groves has no problem following in the footsteps of his nemesis James DeGale and going to America to win a world title and is already in camp.
