    Comments Thread For: DeGale: After Brand I Want a Big Fight, Then Andre Ward

    As previously reported, James DeGale will face a late replacement when he defends his WBC Silver super middleweight title later this month at Glow in Bluewater, Kent. DeGale was originally due to tackle Pablo Oscar Natalio Farias but due to complications the Olympic gold medallist will now face Alexander Brand instead at the same venue on March 23.

    Former WBC Latino champion Brand, who is ranked number 10 by the WBC, lost only 20 bouts in 437 fights as an amateur before turning pro in 2009.

    I respect him for looking for the big fights but I don't see DeGale beating Froch or Kessler. And as for Ward no chance!

          watched most of Degales fights and he hasn't even slightly impressed me once. euro level at best and he will probably lose fights even at that level.

            James DeKhan. Talking about what he's going to do 2, 3 fights down the line. He has some way to go before even talking about Froch/Kessler/Ward.

              DeLuded. He struggles against Euro level fighters, his only chance is a run at the Stieglitz/AA winner. They are similar level to him.

                Just not seeing DeGale as a legit world champ. Public dislike him and hes too flashy with little substance and power.

                  DeGale should target Oosthuizen for the IBO title or the Stieglitz-Abraham winner for the WBO. He's not beating Ward or Froch.
