JAMES DeGale plans to clean up his angry image and kick-start his career next month. The 2008 Olympic hero has signed a new deal with promoter Mick Hennessy for his fights to be shown on Channel 5. He says it will be the perfect platform to show he not only has the talent to win a world title, but the personality to get the country behind him. “I’ve got the buzz back,” said DeGale. “This is something new, something fresh, it’s exciting.

It's a terrible move joining Hennessy - the guy is a god awful promoter. He'd have been better off joining Matchroom.

Seems to be like the Brit's lump this guy in with Khan, attitude wise. Khan at least proved he can fight though by beating Kotelnyk, Maidana, Judah, and I thought he beat Peterson too. This guy hasn't done s**t. DeGale is European Champion with only 13 fights. He hasn't done bad and still has a lot to learn. I expect him to be World Champion at the end of next year or 2014.

I'm glad James is talking about changing his attitude. He's such a talented boxer he really doesn't need to do all that sh*t. A lot of people think he's a c*ck so he's got his work cut out becoming a fan favourite, but a string of good performances on channel 5 will go a long way to rectifying that, providing he stops acting like a complete arse.

I will give the lad another chance, he's acted like a royal prick since he's been a pro, he needs to sort his attitude out and engage his brain before he even thinks about opening his mouth

Glad to see he's ditched the David Haye copycat routine. That sh*t gets old quick.

What a **** attitude to have. This guy is never going to be anything special.

I think the Groves loss has been a wake up call, he realizes now the public didn't like his posturing and that he's not as good as he thought he was. Probably a good move to get Hennessy, he did a lot for Froch and has made Tyson Fury a well known name.
