It'd be a refreshing change if a decent British amateur turned pro and said something like "my number one objective is to win the British title and we'll see what happens after that." De Gale is getting one and a half million for his first roughly sixteen fights. I expect Warren to keep him well away from anybody remotely dangerous and try and steer him towards a vacant WBO belt, followed by a Sven Ottke-style title reign. That's the best-case scenario for that guy. I'm certain before much longer I'll be dying to see him get sparked every time he fights and from what little I've seen of him I don't think he'll get to legitimate world level.
