Personally i don't think this press release will gain him any new supporters actually.
Degale fuels the fued with David Haye
Olympic gold medallist and super middleweight professional James Degale has taken another thinly veiled swipe at David Haye as their fued continues to smoulder.
Degale, who hails from the same manor as Haye has already locked horns with the new WBA heavyweight champion and declares himself "better looking" than the heavyweight ex-model.
Haye, who publicly declared he didn't think Degale would amount to much as pro, has also stated that his Hayemaker Promotions signing, Geroge Groves is a more complete fighter and one whom will go further in the paid ranks.
However today Degale has declared that "Valuev was a rubbish champion" and that "He'd beat him" to pour scorn on the Hayemaker.
"He boxed very, very well but it was a boring fight." announced Degale.
The olympian was roundly booed on his pro debut and was written off by Joe Calzaghe before he even had his first professional fight.
"I'm the Marmite of boxing," James DeGale says"Now that I've turned from being an Olympic gold medal-winning champion into a very slick professional boxer there ain't no doubt about it. People are going to either love me or hate me."
Degale has also declared that his Olympic success has brought him lots of female adulation which he has taken full advantage of.
"I used to get women easy beforehand. But since I've become Olympic champion it's been crazy. I've been a very busy boy."
"Did you see the new black Range Rover outside my mum's front door? That was given to me by allegedly. So now I got the Range Rover my popularity has gone up even more.".
With almost 1 million PPV sales from Saturday and close to £5m in earnings from his David & Goliath show, I doubt Haye has to worry too much about what Degale has to say.
