Comments Thread For: Groves' Promoter: We'd Fight DeGale Now! It's Bigger Than Jack

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Kalle Sauerland, promoter of George Groves (24-3, 18KOs), they are ready and willing to have a rematch with IBF super middleweight champion James DeGale (23-1, 14KOs) right now.

Lol piss off Groves trying to get a quick payday

[Geon]

So Degale is gonna turn down a unification WBC champ Jack to fight the guy Jack beat already?

[stellen]

He beat him once and could easily do it again. He has gone downhill since then but then again degale is no carl froch.

Looool. Groves finally comes crawling back.

Why would Groves' promoter want DeGale next and not fight Chudinov for an easy title first? Probably just hyping his fighter, b/c Chudinov then DeGale makes way more sense. Then again maybe they're worried DeGale loses to Jack?


DeGale recently said he's expecting the Jack fight to happen in October now.

News on that front has become scarce of late as Al Haymon, who manages both fighters, continues to nail down the details.

“I’m still waiting on news, I’m expecting a call from Al and the team sometime in the next couple of days about a date and venue,” DeGale told Boxing News.

“It was originally meant to be in September, but now I’m hearing it’s more likely to be October, it’s also looking like it’ll be in America as well.”

DeGale has been vocal about his desire to bring the unification clash to his native England – and, more specifically, to London – given that he hasn’t boxed in the UK since winning his title last year. He won it in Boston, before defending it in Canada and then Washington.

The 30-year-old is currently in Cyprus with his training team, keeping himself in shape as he awaits official confirmation of the Jack fight.

“I know it’s been quiet on the news front, but I’ve still been training and I’m still ticking over, making sure I’m ready,” he continued.

“There’s an army base out here with a boxing gym so we’ll be heading there. This is a big, big fight so don’t you worry, I’ll be ready to beat him and unify those titles to prove to everyone I’m the best super-middleweight in the world.”

Badou Jack is Groves' papi. Nice try of jumping the queue ahead of him, doe.

Absolutely agree this is a huge boxing PPV fight a revenge show It could so easily be hyped and sold to the public this is a fight that could fill Wembley once again.

If DeGale isn't forced into having to fight Jack right away he should seriously consider this one, Jack is boring anyway.

Funny how Badou Jack isn't anywhere near as known as Groves plus I think in a rematch Groves would KO him.

Groves likely gonna take a fight away from Jack the fans much rather see big fights not boring fighters who can't even beat a past it washed up Lucian Bute.

his chin has disappeared and his power is not the same. he's done at world level imho.
