Just posted on his Twitter account: Today in sparring I schooled European Champ James DeGale It was the first time Ive seen a fighter trash talk 'while' getting hit in the face -- Chris Eubank Jr (@ChrisEubankJr)
Today I travelled to DeGolds gym in Essex & over 8 rounds of sparring, schooled James DeGale.. the European super-middleweight champion & olympic gold medalist. It was the first time I've ever seen a fighter trash talk 'while' getting hit in the face #TeamEubank doubt this, jr doesn't seem that special yet but read what you want!
probably set up to get us thinking about it in the future. If degale was trash talking during sparring then that isn't very smart or respectful, same goes for tweeting about a sparring partner like that.
sounds like they dont get on, i doubt Degale was hurt by him at all. Could this be simply planting the seeds of a "feud" for Degale's debut on 5?
its got you guys talking! remember boxing is a business (marketing) eubank jr has learned this from one of the best business brains in boxing!
he got schooled by larry ekundayo a while ago too who will be fighting at welter most of his career.....
He did rough up Groves a bit in sparring..so it wouldn't be a surprise if he got the better of Degale, but sparring is sparring and Degale would hammer him if they were to fight.
