James DeGale training update

James DeGale

TRAINING camp has been fantastic. I rushed back from my shoulder injury in my last fight. I couldnโ€™t believe I lost my title and I could only blame myself. Iโ€™m lucky to have this chance to make it right and regain my title.

Iโ€™m injury-free now and physically ready for this fight. Most importantly, Iโ€™m mentally ready for this challenge and I canโ€™t wait to get in the ring.

I learned that you canโ€™t rush fitness. I had a reconstructive surgery and I came back far too quick. I learned my lesson the hard way. Now I have to get it back the hard way.

Fighting in Las Vegas is another dream come true. So many great fights have been there and I just canโ€™t wait. The atmosphere and the vibe will be special. Iโ€™m going to put on a fantastic performance and regain my title.

Caleb Truax is not on my level. Iโ€™m miles above him. On April 7 Iโ€™m going to show everyone why and show everyone what Iโ€™m all about.

As soon as the doctor said that some athletes come back after six months from my injury, I was determined to fight in 2017. Everyone can see that I was slow in the ring. I was ashamed of my performance. It was embarrassing and Iโ€™m looking to erase that on April 7.

Iโ€™ve watched the first fight with Truax a couple of times but itโ€™s very tough because I know thatโ€™s not me in there. For the past six weeks Iโ€™ve felt so much better. My jab is sharp again and everyone will see that when I become a two-time world champion.

Truax has tasted what itโ€™s like to be a world champion. Heโ€™s going to be hungry and have that burning desire to beat me. At the end of the day, Iโ€™m just too good for him and Iโ€™m going to prove it. I have to make a statement.
