DeGale: “I’m number 1 in the division”

«I’m number one in the division and Badou Jack wants the spot», IBF super middleweight king James DeGale said. «We’ll have to see if he can take it...He’s pretty basic, good at everything but doesn’t have any special effects, just straight forward...speed, movement, I’m faster than Badou Jack. He’s going to be shocked.»

«I’ve been training really hard. I can’t wait for fight night to prove that I’m the best...my fight with Bute wasn’t a draw. But come fight night it’s just me and James DeGale, the past don’t matter...it’s gonna be a war,» WBC super middleweight champion Badou Jack said.

Badou Jack and James DeGale will meet January 14 in a unification clash that headlines Showtime’s debut 2017 telecast from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
