James DeGale says David Haye cannot save George Groves from defeat – Boxing News
James DeGale, who is going to defend his British and Commonwealth Super-Middleweight title against George Groves this Saturday, May 21, has said the World Boxing Association Heavy-Weight king, David Haye, cannot save Groves from defeat.
The fight between the two pugilists is going to be held at the London’s O2 Arena and is sure to be a scintillating battle.
The 25-year-old, DeGale, is heading into the ring with a pretty confident frame of mind, as he said that no amount of pre-fight planning can help Groves in winning.
DeGale said, “It will make victory all the sweeter because I don't like Haye much either. At least Haye's got a world title. Groves has got nothing but an ugly face. He's just a wannabe who lives off Haye's name. Groves will need a lot more than Haye and
Adam Booth. There's no way he can win this fight."
The Chunky, DeGale, also added, “I read on Sunday that Haye compared me to Audley Harrison. Well we both won Olympic gold, but that's where the similarities end. Harrison was a phoney but I'm the real deal, and Haye and his puppet Groves are going to find
that out on Saturday night.”
The English boxer has pulled a lot of crowd attention by training on the streets and claims that Groves will find himself in a lot of trouble in the ring against him.
DeGale’s trainer, Jim McDonnell also holds the same views, as he believes his fighter can end Groves career in the bout. While speaking to the media, he said that Groves is only going into the ring to take a pay-day, but it is going to be his last pay-day.
McDonnell also reckons his fighter has a bright chance of becoming one of the best fighters in the world after beating Groves, as he has been training with him on the streets and they have gained a lot of popularity in Essex.
