What's DeGale up to these days by the way?

I was wondering the same. Says here he is defending his European Title on April 21st in Denmark.


The British Boxing Board of Control confirmed this week that Italian promoters Round Zero will stage the contest at the Nord Arena in Frederikshavn, Denmark.

It will be DeGale’s first outing since he won the title with a points victory over rugged Pole Piotr Wilczewski in October and his first since he tried to split from promoter Frank Warren.

DeGale released a statement in January claiming he was parting ways with the veteran promoter but was quickly rebuffed by Warren who insisted the Olympic gold medalist had a year left on his contract and would be held to it.

Even more grating for the European champion will be the fact that his arch rival George Groves has seemingly jumped ahead of him in the queue for a world title shot having been lined up to face WBO champ Robert Stieglitz.

Groves was made mandatory challenger for Stieglitz after Mikkel Kessler pulled out of their championship clash with injury and - after being forced out of his own British title defence against Kenny Anderson with injury - now looks set to face Stieglitz for the world title on April 28.

He's having a bit of disput with Warren I think. I think he wanted to leave Warren but he's still under contract

Well done Kerry Hope, fully deserved win there.

Amazing scrap that one was!

The Brook fight is a masterclass. I had a feeling he would win and win pretty well but he's raised his game beyond what I expected so far

My knowledge of world boxing isn't the best but to me Brook looks the real deal, took notice of him a short while back and have followed his recent fights.

Are we looking at the new British world star? He seems to be likeable as well, the new Hitman?

He does indeed look the real deal.

He was picked out a while ago as one to watch. Especially as he was from the Ingle gym - they have a knack for it! He gets better with every challenge he's given. So we'll see whats next for Special K! A while ago he was calling Khan out...

Brave effort from Macklin, but just came up short in the end. Was behind on the cards prior to the stoppage IIRC.

Thought Hope was maybe a tad fortunate to get that decision, was very aggressive but a lot of his work lacked composure and got very ragged towards the end.

Brook just showed why he's a level above the likes of Hatton. Not sure Khan would be a fight that makes either of them look good, too similar in terms of styles IMO.

I do like Brook and think he can go all the way, but.....

doesn't he sound like Drederick Tatum?

Still got a nagging doubt over Brook that he just might lack that ruthless instinct needed at the very top level....I thought that on a couple of occasions he could have stopped the hopeless, though gallant, Hatton and just seemed unable to go up a gear.

Coule be crucial in a fight with a better fighter, that he has that bit more power to really punish an opponent.

Valid point. I had the feeling he could have stopped it and can't quite work out why you wouldn't do that if you had the opportunity. Unless he's Froched it and all his mates were on a points victory

think your being a bit harsh there. Brook put Hatton away easier than Alvarez (who the americans are saying is the next Mayweather, granted hes mexican) But Brook did everything he needed too he hurt Hatton and took a couple of good shots. Will be good too see him fight against a fighter not a good defensive boxer like Hatton. think he is definatly a future world champion were next for him??? id like too see him fight Berto or Alexander ive seen Marggerhito thrown about but id stay away from him

will we see khan v brook?!

not yet its not worth t yet let them both hold world titles then lets see it

Good interview with Sugar Ray Leonard on Sky's Ringside programme the other day . Talking about those classic fights with Duran , Hagler , Benitez & Hearns .
