James DeGale made history by claiming the vacant IBF super-middleweight title with a thrilling unanimous decision victory over Andre Dirrell in Boston.

DeGale has become the first person to win Olympic gold and a world crown in the professional ranks for Britain after withstanding a fierce comeback from his American opponent.

The Londoner appeared on course for a sensational early stoppage after dropping Dirrell twice in the second round, with the first knockdown coming from a brutal overhand left.

Dirrell weathered the storm in the early rounds as DeGale looked for the knockout and even came on strong in the second half of the fight.

Cong**** to Degale. Im glad fighters from the UK are traveling and winning on this side of the pond. Maybe people will stop the whole "Euro bum" nonsense now.

With that said, I didnt like how he was letting Dirrell back into the fight.

Dirrell has adopted a self-destructive style. All the ***** claims must have got to him.

Good job on DeGale's part. He proved he's ready for the big leagues. I commented earlier that Dirrell has a world of talent if ONLY he and his handlers can put the complete package together. Unfortunately that did not come to fruition.

Anyway, I can't wait to see James DeGale vs Andre Ward
