    gavin has been way more impressive yet warren decides to give degale a title shot and gavin gets a guy who has won 8 lost 8 after completely outboxing peter mcdonagh

    i think because degale is a olmypic gold medalist he comes at a higher price than gavin so needs to earn his money back quicker if u get me.

    Wouldn't really take any notice of bogus 'titles' at this stage tbh, means nothing in the grander scheme of things.

    Doesn't really matter either way TBH. DeGale has an extra Mickey Mouse belt....

    presumably he needs to compete with Groves who has just won the comonwealth title and needs to get some sort of title in order to stop Groves from overtaking him as the number one british prospect at the weight and getting more publicity .

    dont quote me on it but groves knocked degale out in the amateurs and after outclassing adamu from the offset imo groves is a different class compared too degale

    It's not necessarily about what Groves thinks but if the public see another prospect in the same division being moved on quickly and achieving things then DeGale won't be as marketable. The media never seem to mention one without the other these days so I'll bet Frank will want to give the impression that their careers are progressing at the same rate.
