    Good. Happy to hear that.

    As much as I have been critical of Degale I'm pleased he's got this chance.

    Sounds to me like eddie is thinking that froch will lose this fight so he is setting up degale vs groves

    Easy conclusion to draw, but I think he just knows it guarantee's another big british clash after the already huge Froch vs Groves.

    They are big money spinners.

    Froch vs degale would be huge as well. And should Froch beat groves and then Degale beat Froch, its a great return fight for Groves.

    Exactly, I'd like to see Groves Degale 2 also if Groves wins, it would be a massive fight.

    How good is Gonzales? Isn't he 21-0? Looks tricky to me.

    To be honest I think this is a win for everyone.

    We basically get to see the best three British Super middles square off.

    Nout wront with that!!!

    Its a smart move from Eddie, the pound notes are going to be rolling in as there is potential for 2,3 or even four all british title fights that would be massive

    Good move from DeGale. Reality is Bika would have been a seriously tough fight and would have been away from home as Mick would never have got Bika here.

    Would feel sorry for Mick, but he's a ****ing joke of a promoter if we are honest.

    It's a good move for degale but you have to have sympathy with mick, I'm a fan of what matchroom have done for sport but you have to wonder at some point when the board will step in and stop fighters being tapped up.

    Its weird. Mick always seems to have about 3 pieces of the puzzle but never seems to be able to complete it.

    He some great idea's and makes some good things happen, but at other times he seems totally out of his depth.

    Boxing is a short career, if someone offers you a better deal you take it.

    Mick made an absolute mess of James' career. We all know that.
