James DeGale Named WBC Mandatory

[komodo]

Finally Chunky gets his chance. The WBC route looks the better option, as long as he can pick up a world strap he would be involved in the big fights.

I wish him well and hope he pulls it off but if he can't pick up a world title against Bika then it's hard to imagine he'd do well against the other guys in the division.

the WBC doesn't supports unification fights

It's about time. Degale vs. Froch/Groves winner is definitely the biggest option, but maybe not the best option for where he is in his career right now. He should go after Bika to increase his rep in the States, and then defend the belt a couple times.

[Ham Porter]

i hope he turns it down though so anthony dirrell can get another shot at bika next, he deserves it. dude got shafted so badly that night by everyone BUT bika, im talking the ref, the judges.. bika committed almost every single foul in the book and got away with it. then the scoring on top of that..

Stop talking complete and utter bollocks, you complete charlatan. Dirrell completely **** his pants and did **** all of note throughout the entire second half of that fight. That isn't an exaggeration, either; Bika bossed him and Dirrell threw absolutely nothing.


@ Dirrell getting shafted by the scoring.

And now of all times, he's decided to leave Hennessy

[BattlingNelson]

He should clearly go for Bika. If he gets that belt, he has some good options as well as leverage.

Que legal action putting him out of action for the next 5 years.

Weird decision. Surely something mustve happened behind the scenes? Money problems or summat
