DeGale vows to win world title this year
James DeGale is aiming to be a world champion by the end of this year following Saturday’s demolition of Sebastien Demers in Canada.
DeGale enjoyed an emphatic win on his North American debut, knocking out the former world title challenger in the second round at the Hilton Lac Leamy in Gatineau-Ottawa, western Quebec.
And the Harlesden super-middleweight is convinced he will soon be operating at the top level.
“I wasn’t messing around – I went straight in there,” he said.
“The finishing shot was a nice uppercut and if that hits anyone they’re going down.
“I wanted to put on a good performance. The power and skill I have were too much for him.
“Give me a couple of fights to keep the momentum and please believe me I’ll be hard to beat.
“I’m going to be a world champion by the end of this year.”
