    A win from Degale and it naturally sets up the Groves rematch, which could be the next ITV PPV.

    Even though I make Eubank Jr slight favourite here (for the wrong reasons as Degale has looked shocking in his last 2 fights and will be 33 by the time they meet in the ring), I'm not really sure where he goes from here.

    Good fight but NOT a PPV.
    Eubank Sr is off his rocker.

    Is this at the York Hall or the Kent Shopping Centre?

    Always good to have boxing on freeview, but at 5am it's no use to most of us. Fights like Degale vs Jr being PPV will kill ITV box office as a thing - which is a shame after they acquired the abysmally promoted, but exciting WBSS.

    Degale will look good for a couple of rounds then he will sit back on the ropes and get swamped by Eubank's workrate. Mid to late round stoppage for junior

    Easy fight to miss unless I read it's a belter don't think I'll go out my way to watch more than the highlights but think eubank Jr would be too much for him at this point. Never been to fussed about either

    Lol Eubank is not gonna beat Degale. That idea is comical, Eubank is not as clever on the front foot as Truax or Jack, Degale will tame Eubank with ease but fade later. It will still be enough to win, Eubank is a terrible thinker in the ring. He runs out of ideas once he can't use his strength to impose himself. Degale is gonna move away from his attacks with ease.

    Have you not seen how past it Degale is? Coupled with his career trait of getting stuck on the rope... I'd be stunned if Eubank loses and does not start as clear betting favourite. Degale also lacks power.

    Degale looks utterly, completely and absolutely done. Surely CEJ even with all his limitations will just be too much for him?

    This is a decent match up imo but should be on an undercard for a big fight.

    Degale will outbox him but will let Eubank unload at times. Can see it as a fun watch.

    Looks like there is already plenty of interest and the fight hasn't been announced yet.

    Dwarfs like Warrington and Frampton should absolutely never be on TV let alone PPV, and I struggle to see how Whyte vs Chisora is bigger than this fight. It clearly isn't!!!

    Eubank only does well when his athletic ability is so superior or if he has a stiff tomato can in front of him. Degale may lay on the ropes for long periods but while he is fresh he is going to befuddle Eubank easily. Eubank is a fighter with no IQ, he can't cut it at this level. He is low level european fodder for any top level operator. Degale is a faded champion but he is still smart enough to nullify Eubank for 12.
