James DeGale to fight the winner of Carl Froch vs George Groves II

With Manny Pacquiao vs Tim Bradley II out of the way, the world, and in particularly Britain, are turning their attention to another hot boxing rematch. At the end of May Carl Froch and George Groves will face off in their highly anticipated rematch, but who will face the winner of Britain's biggest ever boxing fight? Enter Britain's lesser known, but arguably just as good fighter, in James DeGale.

DeGale is the underground rival of George Groves and the pair have a hatred that tops the one brewing between Froch and Groves. DeGale recently left his promoter and has joined Matchroom, where he will improve his boxing reputation and he looks set to land the winner of Froch Vs Groves II.

Firstly, DeGale must win his undercard fight at Froch vs Groves II, where the trio will fight in front of 80,000 supporters. DeGale explained the problems he has suffered, and how he's ready to bounce back, saying "The fighting is easy, to be honest," He continued "But I was in a dark place. Boxing has been my life since I was 10. When you're not happy doing your job, it's hard work, right? About six months ago I went, 'Mum, I've got two properties, I've got a nice car, I've got a pension, so f*ck this boxing. I'll go and earn £1,000 a week doing personal training.' I was doing the numbers to give up. I was this close. She said, 'Don't be stupid. What's wrong with you?' But that's how I felt. My career was going nowhere."

Now DeGale looks set to reap the rewards of sticking with it, and he explained the clear path he intends to follow, saying "Now, the IBF have given me a straight route. So I'm boxing [the winner] in October if I get past Gonzáles, who's actually a good fighter. Potentially there's some crazy money to be made, some crazy fights to be made. That's what drives me on. This is going to be fun now."

It appears boxing as a whole, and British boxing, couldn't be any more exciting for the millions of interested fans across the world. Who will win Froch vs Groves II, and can DeGale rise to the top and beat the winner?
