The teeth, the deviated septum, shoulder and ear injuries were all during the Jack fight?

If so, this is one tough mother****er.

Golovkin should move up and lift that belt off him. His training partner Medina already beat Degale's head in. that smothering style is brutal for the boxer.

I wish the IBF would make Tureano Johnson fight another eliminator like Uzcategui.

The teeth anyway were from sparring Avni Yildirim.

According to who? Here's a picture of the weigh in and there was 0 issues with his teeth or so it seemed.

He will be beaten by George Groves if they ever fight again, at elite level he is constantly drawn into a war! (Because fighters don't respect his power!)....

Instead -- DeGale confirmed to IFL TV -- that the injuries that had DeGale looking like a Halloween ghoul came from an apocalyptic sparring session at Muhammad Ali’s old stomping grounds at the 5th Street Gym in South Beach.
“In Miami, I boxed this mad Turkish guy [Avni “Mr. Robot” Yildirim], he came out to kill me,” DeGale said, confirming the leaked reports. “He’s unbeaten, ranked number two in the WBC, he got in there to kill me. Done in my teeth.”

According to DeGale, who was sporting a brand new smile, the pair boxed for three hard-fought rounds, which was enough to shatter the Brit’s gums and put a dent in his vanity, and his pride.
“So I went to the dentist, got them sewn back in,” he added, which got him ready for the Jack unification bout. “And in the 7th round, he hit me with a hook-uppercut, licked off my teeth. I said, ‘Oh, god.’ Because I'm vain.”

Lol

Wtf so he went and got his teeth repaired right before a fight? Dude is nuts.

But regardless though, his teeth took a beating in the fight and remember he also fought without a mouth piece in several instances.

Should have a bigger following if he is always in wars.

Plenty of fan friendly fighters don't have big fan bases
