Bute is a former IBF champion, who successfully defended his title nine times before losing to Carl Froch in Nottingham. This time, Bute will have home advantage with the fight taking place in Quebec City, Canada.<\/p>\n<p>James goes into the fight full of confidence having won the title against American Andre Dirrell in Boston, USA. James knocked Dirrell down twice on the way to a unanimous points decision. In his previous two fights, James\u2019 knocked out both highly ranked Mexican Marco Antonio Periban and American Brandon Gonzales. Asked about fighting Bute in Canada, James told BULK POWDERS\u2122, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter to me. Of course, I\u2019d like to defend my belt in front of my home fans but that time will come. For now, I\u2019ve business to take care of in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bute has 32 wins from 34 fights, but a confident DeGale said, \u201cBute is world class but I\u2019m better. I\u2019m faster, more skilful and I\u2019ll be coming home with my belt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As always, BULK POWDERS\u2122 will be supporting James with the highest quality sports nutrition throughout his training camp to help him perform at his best.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"James DeGale - Andre Dirrell.
