    Anybody heard any rumours? Meant to be announced next few days. He told Ed Robinson it would be abroad against a former world champion and its all down to "the man the myth the legend" Al Haymon....

    Only few I can think is;

    Sakio Bika?
    Robert Stieglitz?
    Anthony Dirrell haha?

    Will be interesting to see..

    Bika would be a nightmare for DeGale given how badly he gasses.

    I was really hoping for a Groves rematch, but obviously that is out of the window now.

    I gotta agree with the above comment, Degale has stamina problems he needs someone who he can outbox to get an early lead or someone who has been KO'd previously.

    I'm not a massive fan of saying things like this.... But Degale sounds really quite punchy to me for being so young ...worrying. His voice and choice of words were bad to start with, but the slurring is clearly worse and quite often what comes out is nothing but jumble. I hope he doesn't stick about too long.

    Obviously it wont be a top 8 opponent, more like 15-20, his first defence Will be a routine victory

    Bute is official. Should be easy work for Degale.
