NEW YORK – James DeGale made it completely clear Wednesday that he is not in any way overlooking Badou Jack. 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.

Super middleweight contender Callum Smith (21-0, 16KOs) has, like many, been waiting over the past few months to see if the fight between WBC champion Badou Jack and IBF champion James DeGale would materialize.

IBF super middleweight champion James DeGale is not worried about Floyd Mayweather Jr. being the promotional backer of WBC super middleweight champion Badou Jack.

Undefeated super middleweight contender Callum Smith (21-0, 16KOs) will be keeping a close eye on the scheduled unification between IBF champion James DeGale and WBC beltholder Badou Jack, which got finalized for January 14th.

IBF super middleweight champion James DeGale (23-1, 14KOs) would love to get Gennady Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs) in the ring - if GGG decides to come up in weight to 168-pounds.

The last time James DeGale fought, he had some difficult moments with Rogelio 'Porky' Medina. The next person DeGale will fight says he won’t take that into consideration.
