So who is Dyah Davis?

James DeGale's next opponent is Dyah Davis and, should he pass this challenge, he believes he deserves a world title shot.

Really? Dyah Davis is not in the top twenty in the world, so is there a basis to DeGale's ambition or is he just trying to generate interest in a nothing fight?

Man, Degale has gone nowhere. Hasn't stepped up in competition since Groves and has developed so many bad habbits, I doubt he will ever make it to world class. Who is this guy? No one. That's who. Degale points as usual.

He has no names on his record, and has recently been stopped by Bika. Wonder if Degale will make world level before Callum Smith?

Cue DeGale telling us that this guy is a tough, tough opponent and no mug.

Doubtful. Degale has no power and his defence is leakier than my first car's engine.

Hope he doesnt turn into another Kell Brook. He has too much talent to waste to be like that

the fight could be a classic

I think Kell Brook has a HOF career compared to Degale.

My biggest issue is they aren't even being subtle. With a name like "Dire"

Another Dyah-bolical fight in a shopping centre.

DeGale is destined for the 'didn't make the most of his abilities' HoF.
