    Default James Degale,my 1st fight will be a walk in the park

    James DeGale is expecting his professional debut to be a 'walk in the park'.
    The Olympic gold medallist makes his bow in the paid ranks against Georgian Vepkhia Tchilaia, on Saturday, February 28, live on Sky Sports.
    And although the 23-year-old admitted to Soccer AM that he thought long and hard about turning pro straight after Beijing, he was a little more decisive when it came to calling the fight.
    "He (Tchilaia) has had 17 fights, he's won nine of them knocked out five, he's lost eight and I think he's been stopped twice, he said.
    "But I've boxed at an extremely high level, at the Olympics, at the Commonwealth Games and all around the world, so it should be a walk in the park!" Sky Sports | Sport News

    I hate this guy i hope he gets a shock ko very early in his career! He is so cocky.

    agree man, I just can't see him being a good pro, I think he'll avoid Sutherland and probably get chined by a bum

    That kind of overconfidence won't do him any favours

    Not the best attitude to have this early. Reeks of later complacency to me.

    What is it with young, decorated, British amateur boxers who turn pro with a damn attitude?

    We've heard Amir Khan talking his shit - He got a nice leveller to bring him back down to earth by Breidis Prescott

    Derek Chisora - Does not know how to conduct himself in an interview and says 'I have nothing to work on - just power shots' and becoming heavyweight world champion soon Then calls out Audley with the reasoning that it will be a big 'payday'. Hasn't a clue...

    Tyson Fury - ''I'm 5 x better than any heavyweight in the world today''. Are you serious?? After one fight?? Then his dad says he would have beaten Foreman and Michael Spinks with ease - AFTER 1 FUCKING FIGHT

    Now James De Gale?

    These guys all need to be humbled and realise that they just aren't that good! The pro ranks are a completely different ball game. At least get to 10-15+ pro fights before you start tooting your horn about how you're the best thing since sliced bread.

    These guys make themselves sound like tools..I hope that they mature and quickly for their own sake.
