DeGale worked out and answered questions for media at the Stonebridge Boxing Club as he nears his third straight fight in the United States, this time looking to return to the UK as a unified world champion.

 

Here is what DeGale had to say teisipäeval:

 

JAMES DeGale

 

“This is the best fighting the best and this fight will prove who’s the best in the divisionand I believe I am the number one super middleweight on the planet.

 

“Unification fights like this are still rare, never mind the best fighting the best, and me and Jack both wanted the fight. We both want to prove who is the best and everyone is in for a treat on Jaanuar 14.

 

“I’ve got the best trainer in the world in Jim McDonnell; together we won the world title and now we’re going to unify the title. I’m going to win in style and do the business in the big New York City and come away with both belts to bring back to London.

 

“Jack’s a serious fighter, ta on maailmameister, he has something I want. The winner of this will be the number in the division.

 

“Growing up, Joe Calzaghe, and Prince Naseem Hamed, they’re the ones I used to watch and I’d think, ‘I can’t wait to do that.’ Calzaghe’s one of my favorite fighters. He’s a bit similar to me. He’s a southpaw, viskab palju löögid. He’s another one who didn’t get the full credit he was due until after he retired. But that’s how boxing is.

 

“I’ve got to perform. My last couple of performances haven’t been vintage James DeGale. This is the best fighting the best, the champ fighting the champ: this is proper.

 

“I don’t get the respect. I made a bit of history. If I unify the division, going across the pond, no one’s ever done that from Britain.

 

“This is the one. I get love and support, I do have my fans, but it just feels like I look around at different fighters who haven’t done half what I’ve done and they get so much more recognition.

 

“I don’t get the credit: the full recognition, I don’t. But after this fight, people will start respecting me and knowing I’m the best.”

Sõltumata lõpptulemusest, võitja on Stevensoni kõige populaarsem ja õigustatud väljakutsuja, dramaatiliselt kasvav huvi ja tuntus täiesti Québécoisi maailmameistrivõistluste showdowniga.
Kõik koostisosad on kokku kogutud, et suurendada rahva huvi selle võitluse vastu, mis osutub üheks olulisemaks kogu Quebeci ajaloos.
See on kohalik vastasseis kahe sportlase vahel, kes valisid Quebeci oma koduks, integreerumine täielikult loalikultuuri ja prantsuse keele õppimine, samuti seal, kus nad on võitnud valdava enamuse oma võistlustest. Selle suure kokkupõrke tulemusel on rahvusvahelisel tasandil tohutuid tagajärgi ka kergekaalu divisjonis.
Ühes nurgas on endine maailmameister Bute, kes on oma ajal esitanud palju inspireerivaid etendusi 13 maailmameistrivõistluste võitlused (10-2-1, 8 Kos) saada Quebecis suurepäraseks staariks ja imetletud kuulsuseks.
Teine nurk leiab peksmata Alvarezi, viimase kolme aasta maailmatasemel võitleja, kes on oma säravaimad etteasted esitanud välismaal, ehkki enamasti teiste Quebeci suurte tähtede varjus. Kolumbia endine olümpialane soovib tõestada oma tõelist väärtust pärast seda, kui ta on Stevensoniks ette valmistunud, võideldes vastastega üle viimase aasta. Ta teenib oma kõrgeima rahakoti, mis on sarnane sellega, mida ta oleks saanud kõigepealt Stevensoniga võitlemiseks.
“Quebeci fännid tervikuna rõõmustavad kõigepealt selle megavõitluse üle ja olen veendunud, et kaotajaid pole,” GYM president Yvon Michel öeldud. “Kuigi selle vastasseisu tulemust on raske ennustada, tõenäoliselt on see võitlus nii huvitav ja tihe, et, lõpuks need kaks said, üksteise järel, maailmameistrivõistluste võitlus Montreali võimsa lõunamehemeistri vastu, Adonis Stevenson.”
“Meie jaoks oli oluline see võitlus pidada Vidéotroni keskuses,” lisatud Asepresident näitab & Québecori loominguline sisu, Michel granger. “Viimane kord (Stevenson-Williamsi võitlus) oli edukas ja see on sama ka Veebruar 24.”

“Viimased kuus kuud on minu jaoks olnud rasked,” Bute selgitas. “Pärast Washingtoni olukorra lahendamist, Mul oli hea meel lõpuks istuda ja arutada oma järgmise võitluse üle. Võtsin vastu kohe, kui mulle pakuti võitlust. Me räägime võitmatust tüübist 1 poolt WBC. See on üsna suur väljakutse. Kallutan mütsi Alvarezele, kes pani tema positsiooni ohtu.
“Ootasin vahelist ühinemise tiitlivõitluse võitjat James Dégale ja Badou Jack, aga mul polnud garantiisid ja ma ei saanud endale lubada ootamist. Minu eesmärk on taas võidelda maailmameistrivõistluste nimel, kas see on kell 168 või 175 naela, ja ma ei tahtnud lihtsalt mõttetut ettevalmistavat võitlust pidada.
“Pärast kõigi võimaluste hindamist, jõudsime järeldusele, et peame selle võitluse võtma,” Alvarez’ pea treener Marc Ramsey märkis. “Muidugi, on riske … aga see on seda väärt. Eleider on kaua oodanud võimalust poksida kellegi Quebecis tunnustatud inimese vastu, ja inimesed pole veel tema potentsiaali täielikult näinud. Pakkumise saades oli ta kõik naeratanud.”.
“Kui Marc mind oma kabinetti kutsus,” Alvarez kommenteeris, “Mõtlesin, et mis toimub. Üldiselt, kui ta mind oma kabinetti kutsub, see pole hea uudis. Ta palus mul maha istuda ja kas ma tahan Butega näkku minna. Naeratasin ja ütlesin, jah. Ta on Quebeci populaarseim poksija, nii et minu motivatsioon on erinev. Teen seda enda ja oma pere heaks. Ma tahan olla maailmameister ja nüüd läheb see läbi Luciani. Olen pikka aega otsinud sellist suurt võitlust ja olen esimest korda pealik.”
