Degale is now fighting 19-1 Colombian Alexander Brand who is ranked number 10 by WBC. Tbh I've never seen him fight so can't comment on the opponent http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=511591&cat=boxer
He has got his ranking from winning the wbc latino belt. Interesting defensive style, looks abit fleshy, bit of balooned middleweight by the looks of things.
Not much can be read into that record I don't think. I would have preferred the N'Diaye fight in al honesty because having seen N'Diaye's last two fights, I would have thought that would be a good test. But hopefully this guy is good enough to not just be a bit of a pushover & makes it a fight.
