Super middleweight George Groves started life under new trainer Shane McGuigan with a comfortable victory over Andrea Di Luisa at the Copper Box Arena in London.

Saint George (22-3, 17 KOs) proved far too good for his Italian opponent, with Di Luisa knocked down three times before his corner threw in the towel during Round 5.

The Englishman was returning to the ring for the first time since losing to WBC champion Badou Jack in September 2015—Groves' third failed attempt to claim a world title.
