Davis, 22, overcame a childhood filled with hardships to become a prolific amateur and has been virtually unstoppable as a professional. Sem áhugamaður (milli 2006-2012), he entered nine tournaments and came away with gold medals in all but one. He won gold in his last four tourneys, þar á meðal 2012 National Golden Gloves Championship at 123 £.
“Maybe some little things, but not really. We take training seriously. We take all our opponents very seriously. But I have to treat it as just another fight, against another opponent. We know Pedraza is a world champion, a great fighter that comes to fight and we give him his respect as a world-class fighter. I know he’s going to be ready. He’s always ready when it’s time to get in there and do his job. But I’m prepared for him. He doesn’t know what we bring to the table.”

DeGale Faces Badou Jack in Super Middleweight World Championship Unification Showdown Laugardagur, Janúar 14 frá Barclays Center í Brooklyn & Live á Showtime
Smelltu HÉR for Photos from Lawrence Lustig/Matchroom Sport
LONDON (Desember 13, 2016) – IBF Super Middleweight heimsmeistari James DeGale hosted a media workout in his hometown of London Tuesday as he prepares to face WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Badou Jack in a 168-pound world title unification showdown that headlines action on Laugardagur, Janúar 14 from Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on Showtime.
The Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP Hnefaleikar útsending hefst á 9:30 p.m. OG/6:30 p.m. PT with with super featherweight world champion Jose Pedraza taking on undefeated contender Gervonta Davis.
Miðar á viðburð í beinni, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, byrja á $25. Tickets are available and can be purchased online by visiting www.ticketmaster.com, www.barclayscenter.com eða með því að hringja 1-800-745-3000. Miðar eru einnig í boði á American Express Box Office á Barclays Center. Group afslætti eru í boði með því að hringja 844-BKLYN-GP.
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 á þriðjudag:
JAMES DEGALE
“This is the best fighting the best and this fight will prove who’s the best in the division — and 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 Janúar 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, he’s a world champion, 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, kastar mikið af kýla. 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.”
