DeGale was the first person representing Great Britain to win gold at the Olympics then become a "world" champion.
I think it's simply a case of Lewis congratulating him on becoming the first person to achieve this.
Lewis represented Canada at the Olympics not Britain as you are aware, I don't think this gives any indication to which nationality Lewis views himself.

Obviously, doesn't count himself since he didn't fight for Britain?
There's nothing more to it than that. He doesn't secretly try and tell people that he's really not british.

Originally posted by sonnyboyx2 View Posti think it does give an indication joe, Lennox lives in Toronto and has done for as long as he can remember. To claim him to be British is stupid, what nationality do Canadians think he is?..... just because he owns a house in Jamaica and one in L.A. is meaningless, if he owned one in London then maybe some could make a case for him being British. But me personally, i always guessed there was more behind Lennox turning pro from Britain than Canada or the USA and i am now certain it was due to drug testing.
Here's his address:
Lennox Lewis
9 Island Ave #515

The above Tweet from Lennox tells you that he regards himself as Canadian. Lennox when he turned pro, fought out of the U.K. because in the U.K. they do not drug-test their own fighters, they only drug-test incoming opponents from abroad.
