BADOU JACK destroyed George Groves' world title dreams - then claimed he wants to take James DeGale's IBF world title.
WBC super-middleweight champion Jack upset the odds as he earned a split decision win over Londoner Groves after flooring him in the first round.
And now he wants to unify the titles by taking on DeGale, who lost to bitter rival Groves in 2011.

Can't see Jack having much of a chance at all against Degale. I thought Groves beat Jack fairly clearly and I had Degale beating Groves. Triangle theory doesn't always wash but with Jack's limited ability, Degale should deal with him like the B-level fighter he is.
Fans want to see more "Fighting Champions" so much respect to Jack! People keep seeing people say "JACK IS NOT THAT GOOD HE GOT KNOCKED OUT!" but yet this dude is World Champion and he keeps winning.
Would love to see Jack vs DeGale or Chavez Jr next!
This match-up makes all the sense in the world, but I doubt Haymon/Hearns will give it to us right away. We'll probably get it by the end of next year.
Isnt Degale 'advised' by Haymon these days?
Not that that will help the fight get made based on the 147lb situation

Absolutely no way this guy beats Degale.
that's what they were saying about Anthony Darrell and he beat him. They said the same about Groves and he beat the guy. Continue saying no way and De Gale will still get beat. He faded badly against Dirrell but Badou is a different ball game. He is big, he can move and is technically solid. Watch this guy clean the division.
I think we see Jack vs Chavez Jr or Bute next.
DeGale can still face Grooves in the UK, that is still a good fight. The winners can face each other later next year.
So Jack has 3 options...
1. An easy unification with Abraham
2. A money fight with Chavez
3 .A hard Unification with Degale.
I think Chavez is next, Degale is trouble and Abraham I think won't take it.
I'm becoming a real fan of Jack. He believes in himself when no one else does, and he goes out there and delivers. He also will fight anybody. It would probably be in his best interests to pursue the Chavez Jr. fight first, but I won't count him out against DeGale.
