Comments

  • "I thought I'd done enough but it was the knockdown. - James DeGale.
  • "I'm glad I'm still the champion and I'm coming home with the title but I'm so upset that I didn't come with the WBC belt. The main thing is I didn't lose, I'm still the champion and I can move forward." - James DeGale.
  • "Badou Jack has got too big for 168lbs. We have plans after this fight to move up to light-heavyweight. This result is bad for boxing when it's all said and done, this is really bad for boxing." - Floyd Mayweather.
  • "Floyd Mayweather Jr. was going on about a robbery but he chats a load of rubbish. He came to find me at my hotel at 4am to see if I was alright. He came with his entourage and spent 45 minutes with me, talking about the fight, saying I'm a great fighter and that he wants to sign me. But my next fight is at home, I want to fight in front of my own people and feel the atmosphere at The O2 or at The Emirates. We've got the best boxing fans in the world and fighting in London is second to none." - James DeGale.
