George Groves is a damaged fighter, he's greedy and our careers have taken different trajectories: James DeGale speaks out ahead of clash with Rogelio Medina

James DeGale's added motivation for successfully defending his world super-middleweight title this Saturday night is that victory over a rugged Mexican will take him one step nearer the super-fight which is the heart's desire of every elite boxer.
Unfortunately he suspects that his British arch-rival George Groves no longer qualifies as the go-to opponent for a domestic showdown in a London football stadium, let alone a place alongside him on the global stage.

Chunky, as this former Olympic champion is known, lost a narrow and somewhat disputed decision to the Saint when these unfriendly neighbours met early in their careers.
