According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, Warriors boxing won the purse bid to secure the IBF Super Middleweight title bout between Andre Dirrell and James DeGale.
‘Disappointed to lose the bid but confident DeGale will beat Dirrell anywhere,” said DeGale’s promoter Eddie Hearn “Negotiations were frustrating and in the end Andre made it clear he wasn’t coming to the U.K. I think even if we won the bid he wouldn’t have come. They have 15 days to provide the date and then James will make his way to the U.S. and pick up the red and gold jewels.”
“Fight will be staged in (the) USA. Ring is a ring. I’m still making history,” said DeGale.
