    Comments Thread For: James DeGale is Champion Again - Reclaims The EBU Belt

    On Tuesday, Hennessy Sports and the EBU announced that EBU super middleweight champion James DeGale had relinquished the title as it was not possible to both hold the EBU and the WBC Silver title at the same time.

    However today, December 19th, the EBU Council have decided to modify its rules and decided that it is only "full" world champs that cannot hold both titles. [Click Here To Read More]

      Hopefully, they vacate anyway and dont fight Mohammed al diyad. Degale needs some good opposition.

          Ndiaye's not a bad opponent and it's keeping DeGale active. He's only fought 3 times this year, twice under Hennessy management and in as many months. I can see him fighting easily 5 times next year.

              DeGale has only had 15 fights and fights at European level. He now fights every 2 - 3 months so if he has facing fighters at this level at this point of his career then it's hard to moan. He will step it up next year to world level.

                  Its hard to see where Degale goes because at world level theres only Abraham he'd have a chance with.

                  Also he's in the WBC ranking not WBO so thats out of the question.

                  Id put him in with Brian Maghee

                                  degale is a paper champ, i kind of find him frustrating to watch, he needs to step it up in 2013

                                      DeGale has skills, looking forward to watching him in 2013. Is he going to rematch ugly kid any time soon?
