James DeGale v Andre Dirrell

[Master]

Once Dirrell gets DeGale out of the way, Dirrell wants to face former IBF champion Carl Froch in his first defense. Dirrell has a loss to Froch in 2009, but Dirrell doesn’t mind giving Froch a rematch because he’s confident that he’ll beat him.

Dirrell feels he was cheated out of a win over Froch in their fight that took place in Froch’s hometown of Nottingham, UK.

“Winning is the only thing I know,” Dirrell said via Fighthype. “I got one defeat; cheated but not defeated against Carl Froch. Once I get that IBF title, if he [Froch] wants to get a shot at getting it back, then I’m right here, man. DeGale first, then Froch. I know I’m going to handle the job,” Dirrell said.
