Ok i guess we both just canceled each other out theirWho? DeGale? I've already said he won't be fighting an elite fighter in his next fight unless Froch says lets do it.
It's a homecoming fight and it will be a relatively easy defence. I also pointed out that he's not the only boxer to do this.
He won't fight any of those 3 names though. Next year, he'll be in big fights. Groves at Wembley is one of them if Ugly Kid doesn't *** up against Badou Jack.

Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Sport are positioning their stable of fighters for UK/US success, with the US effort being supported by their relationships with Haymon/Showtime.
Sky Sports is his TV broadcaster, so putting on fights that capture the attention of UK fans is likely foremost; still, there is interest in his fighters developing stateside and a lot of the bigger fights would benefit from efforts outside of UK.
Take Kell Brook for example; the biggest fight possible for him, if we're honest, is Mayweather(c) vs Brook(c), from Vegas, for the unified welterweight championship of the world. The next biggest fight would be Brook(c) vs Khan, from Wembley come next summer. The next biggest fight after that is probably Brook(c) vs Juan Manuel Marquez at the O2/Mancheser Arena.
three top-level bouts, with arguably world-level interest. Hearn isn't likely to decide to just throw him in with Keith Thurman or anything, but it's unlikely that the now-worldwide interest in his champion would sustain a Brook-Bradley Skeete type of fight.
James Degale's next fight will probably be a gimme (big enough opponent to sell well in the UK, but not an outright no-hoper); after that he's got the Jack/Groves winner and Andre Ward (with Ward's name coming out of Degale's mouth, both fights that will draw massive UK attention and really good US attention.
And, with Anthony Joshua continuing to impress, likely being seen on US TV in the not so far future, interest in seeing him leave the UK will also start to pick up pretty soon. The UK is the main market for Matchroom Sport, but American interest in his fighters gives Hearn no incentive to simply lock into only being in the UK.Comment

I am just goin by Garcas latest interview on Elie Seckbach's channel, i dont see what reason they have to lie, Rios looks in ok shape in the videoComplete lie. They weren't ready for May 30th especially with Rios' notorious trouble of getting down in weight. Plus there wouldn't have been enough money to pay Rios to fight on that card considering the other people they have to pay.
You have really become pathetic with licking Khan's hairy arsehole over the past few weeks.
The fight is going to happen. Rios would be insane to turn down a world title shot in front of a packed crowd in the UK. Only an absolute ***ing ****** would do that.....hint hint.
Anyways Hern says he wants to fight in August, and Garcia says they will not have Rios sit out of the ring for that amount time, if someone offers them a fight, they will take it..
It cud be Garcia just talking ****, but who knows
Either way i wudnt be surprised if Rios ends up fighting someone else, leaving Brook out in the cold..
Maybe Brook cud fight Devon in August..some unfinished biz there and a respectable win at 147Comment

Rios was never viable for May 30th. You know that, I know that. The money wasn't there and he wasn't going to be ready. You've just got your nose up Khan's ****** so hard these days, that you're trying to make some issue out of it.I am just goin by Garcas latest interview on Elie Seckbach's channel, i dont see what reason they have to lie, Rios looks in ok shape in the video

Like I said, Rios would be an absolute ***ing ****** to turn down a world title fight in front of a packed UK crowd for big money....we all know only spastics do that. He won't be as dumb as you know who.Comment

Anyone but a hearn fighter really..ammm Stieglitz would be a good fight i think a tough fight doh maybe for first defense. Chudinov would be a really good first defense but a bit of a fantasy for that to happen, hmmmm maybe Bika i would say, that seems like the mostly likely that could happen,and bika would be a good test for degale but degale still wins... i thinkComment

I don't even know what you mean by "anyone but a Hearn fighter" - what does it matter if it's a Hearn fighter or not?Anyone but a hearn fighter really..ammm Stieglitz would be a good fight i think a tough fight doh maybe for first defense. Chudinov would be a really good first defense but a bit of a fantasy for that to happen, hmmmm maybe Bika i would say, that seems like the mostly likely that could happen,and bika would be a good test for degale but degale still wins... i think
