Degale v Truax / Selby v Ramirez - December 9th BT Sport

[smashup]

World Super-Middleweight Champion James DeGale MBE will defend his title against American Caleb Truax in his long-awaited British homecoming on Saturday 9 December when he headlines at London’s Copper Box Arena, exclusively live on BT Sport and BoxNation.
DeGale, Britain’s first ever boxer to win Olympic gold and become a World Champion, returns to Britain to make the fourth defence of his title following a gruelling but glorious two-and-half-year campaign in North America where he cemented his position as the world’s premier super-middleweight.
The trailblazing Brit defeated Andre Dirrell in Boston to win the IBF crown in May 2015; made the first defence in Quebec City against the former holder Lucian Bute in his home city in November 2015; defended it for a second time against hard Mexican Rogelio Medina in Washington in April 2016 and finally came close to unifying the WBC title against Badou Jack in January 2017 in Brooklyn with a controversial draw following a brutal but thrilling fight.
The 31-year-old Harlesden star is excited to return to his home city and fight in front of his home fans as he continue on his quest to become a unified world champion and then look to 2018 at some blockbuster showdowns against his rivals.
DeGale said: “Truax is a good solid fighter with a top pedigree. He’s been in with some quality opponents like Daniel Jacobs, Jermain Taylor and Andre Dirrell,”
“He’ll be fighting away from home so he’s going to bring it on and try to take my World title, but I’m the best super-middleweight in the world and I’m going into the ring full of confidence and 100 percent fit.”
“I’ve not boxed in London for a few years so I can’t wait to make my return to the ring and soak up the atmosphere from the crowd and put on great show for the fans.”

This is a pretty disappointing opponent for me. Cant see any way Degale loses it.

Selby fight should be decent and a reasonable opponent for Yarde. Step up for Dubois too.

Decent warm-up to get me in the mood for Loma v Rigo later that night.

@Master Is the pope catholic and making the world safer for pedophiles...hellz to the yeah

ahhh fuck, its me moms 60th birthday that week...hopefully no one is arranging anything for it, it'd be pretty difficult for me to dodge that bullet

Yeah I agree Truax isn't exactly a face but then again Degales been injured so we can give this one.
Dubois at just turned 20 and Yarde looks top prospects and Dubois natural power is fierce... I think he hits harder than any heavyweight about today... he's putting opponents asleep (unconscious) this kid, not just knocking them over.!!
His last fight the poor cunt was out cold for about 2 minutes before he even moved.
Tipping Dubois to be a future champ if his chin proves solid, very exciting fighter.
