While the attention of the sporting world starts turning to the much anticipated clash between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, BULK POWDERS\u2122 athlete James DeGale is deep in training for his IBF Super-Middleweight world title clash in Boston, USA, with talented American, Andre Dirrell on the 23rd May. DeGale Vs Dirrell headlines the card, which will be shown live on Sky Sports as well as being broadcast across the USA on the NBC network.<\/p>\n
James, who has previously spent time training out in Mayweather\u2019s Vegas gym, is picking Floyd to come out victorious. James exclusively told BULK POWDERS\u2122, \u201cFloyd is an amazing boxer \u2013 it\u2019s not just that, having seen him train, the hard work and dedication he puts in is something for any upcoming boxer to aim for.\u201d Contrary to some reports in the media, James hasn\u2019t sparred with Mayweather \u2013 James is a lot bigger than Lil\u2019 Floyd \u2013 it just wouldn\u2019t have been fair on Floyd!<\/p>\n
For James, hard work and dedication is a mantra he\u2019s adopted for a long time now. The last couple of months have been no different: \u201ctraining has been tough. I push myself harder and harder every training camp and this fight is no different. In fact, the motivation of winning the world title makes the hard work and dedication all the more worthwhile.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shortly, James\u2019 camp will move to America for the final stages of preparation. James said, \u201cI\u2019m doing this properly. I\u2019m getting myself over to the States in good time to ensure I\u2019m fully used to the time difference come fight night.\u201d Asked about Dirrell, James responded, \u201cyeah, he\u2019s an excellent fighter. That\u2019s what I want though \u2013 I don\u2019t want to win the world title against an opponent people consider poor. To my mind, me and Dirrell are the 2 best active Super-Middleweights right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
BULK POWDERS\u2122 Product Director, Simon Jurkiw, will be flying out to Boston during fight week to ensure James\u2019 final nutritional and hydration strategies are as they should be. Asked about the challenge of fighting abroad, Simon stated, \u201cNot to play it down, but for James it\u2019s not a problem. He\u2019s used to fighting all over the world and it won\u2019t phase him. He\u2019ll be there in plenty of time to get used to the time difference. In May, the climate in Boston is fairly similar to London (maybe a few degrees warmer), so there are no concerns whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n
BULK POWDERS\u2122 will be with James every step of the way on his journey to becoming world champion, and the first boxer to win an Olympic gold medal for Britain and a professional world title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
