The confident British star realizes a loss to Sweden’s Jack (20-1-2, 12 KOs) in their super middleweight championship unification fight January 14 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center disrupts anything else he’d like to accomplish in 2017. But if Gennady Golovkin’s representatives cannot secure preferred middleweight title fights against Daniel Jacobs and/or Canelo Alvarez, DeGale (23-1, 14 KOs) is more than willing to move down a few pounds to meet Golovkin between the middleweight and super middleweight limits.

This past weekend in Monte Carlo, Golovkin's promoter Tom Loeffler sat down with Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport, who handle Froch, and they discussed the idea of the fight - in very loose terms since Froch is retired.
