    This may have been discussed and answered already. I do apologise if so.
    It is noted that DeGales next opponent is to be European SMW champ Wilczewski.
    I thought with EBU rules that a fighter couldnt fight for the title if they were coming off a loss. As everyone knows DeGale is coming off a loss to Groves, so is DeGale to have an easy win fight first or are the rules going to be altered for him? Or am I wrong?

    I seem to remember reading that K Mitchell couldnt fight for J Murrays title due to losing to Katsidis and that R Munroe couldnt contest for his old European title straight away due to his world title points defeat

    Apparently if its a close loss to a decent opponent the EBU can/will allow the contest. Sounds like a bit of a bodge/ get out clause to me but there we go!!

    FRANKly it is a new clause applicable only(alledgedly) to a certain promoters fighters.

    According to the scene,this fight might not be a done deal and groves still might get the shot.

    I dont know if you are joking or not.
    I like Groves but he has only had around 12 fights so is he a decent enough opponent. Munroe lost to a world champ (clearly).

    I didnt mean it like that, but fair enough. I wasnt 100% sure of the conditions and even now from what you say, they can be altered to suit by the looks of things

    Yeah, he lost a close decision to George Groves last time out. Looked a bit one dimensional TBH.

    Its very playground gay if degale fights for a euro title. I bet Groves haunts his dreams at night.
