BOSTON (April 21, 2015) – A Memorial Day weekend showdown takes center stage when Olympic stars battle it out as 2004 Bronze medalist for the United States Andre Dirrell (24-1, 16 KO) voldoet aan 2008 Gold medalist for Great Britain James DeGale (20-1, 14 KO) in a super middleweight bout as Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on NBC comes to Boston on Zaterdag, Mei 23 live on NBC and NBCSN.

“Ik ben klaar voor deze strijd,” Said Dirrell. “I’m so happy and honored to be fighting on NBC for a world title against a worthy opponent in James DeGale.

We are almost there, op Mei 23 it’s my time to make history as the first Briton to win an Olympic gold medal and a world title,” said DeGale. “I’m excited about coming to the U.S for this fight, Boston is a great city and I will be bringing plenty of support from the UK. It’s been a frustrating period waiting for my shot but now it’s here and no one is taking it away from me.

I’m thrilled to bring Premier Boxing Champions to the Agganis Arena at Boston University on Mei 23,” zei Lou DiBella, Voorzitter van DiBella Entertainment. “Holiday fireworks will begin Zaterdag afternoon when America’s skilled technician and Olympic bronze medalist Andre Dirrell takes on Britain’s Olympic gold medalist James DeGale for the world super middleweight championship. The card will also feature strong co-featured and undercard bouts, including Boston, New England and Irish title contenders.

An amateur standout who won two U.S. Amateur WK in aanvulling op zijn olympische bronzen medaille, the 31-year-old Dirrell looks to keep up his recent win streak when he battles DeGale on Mei 23.

PBC and DiBella Entertainment are proud to be working in association with Ken Casey and his Murphys Boxing on this event. The Dropkick Murphys front man has been on the front lines of the boxing resurgence in Boston.
