Fighting in Quebec this Saturday, making the first defence of his IBF super-middleweight world title against Lucien Bute, it seems that James DeGale has been told to expect a dirty fight.
The warning comes from no other than Bute?s coach, Howard Grant, with Grant warning DeGale that if he tries to turn the fight into a street fight,
?Maybe the ref will warn him, if not you have to elbow him right in the face or hit him right in the balls.
?If he tries to pull that s*** I?ll tell Lucian to elbow him right in the f***** eyes when the refs back is turned.?
Charming!
Let?s hope that DeGale sticks to, like we expect him to, the Queensbury rules and that he boxes the face off of this Bute character and his unsavoury trainer!
DeGale Warned to Keep It Clean!
