The fight takes place on November 28<sup>th<\/sup> at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Canada.<\/p>\n<p>James is doing something very few champions do: travelling to their opponents backyard to defend the title. It\u2019s even more unusual as a first defence! Completely unfazed, James told BULK POWDERS\u2122, \u201cI\u2019m excited to go over to Canada. Of course, it would have been perfect to defend in London, but the fight against Bute was offered and I didn\u2019t hesitate.\u201d Bute is one of Canada\u2019s most popular sportspeople and will enjoy raucous home town support \u2013 BULK POWDERS\u2122 asked James if this bothered him, to which he replied, \u201cNo. Not at all. In my 9<sup>th<\/sup> \u00a0fight against Paul Smith, I had beer thrown at me on the way to the ring, verbal abuse, all sorts. I could deal with it back then and I can deal with it now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James is already in Canada, giving plenty of time to get used to the time difference and to acclimatise. As always, he\u2019s packed his trusty BULK POWDERS\u2122 products including <a href=\"..\/..\/complete-hydration-drink.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Complete Hydration Drink<\/a>\u2122, <a href=\"..\/..\/complete-protein-porridge.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Complete Protein Porridge<\/a>\u2122 and <a href=\"..\/..\/informed-whey.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Informed Whey<\/a>\u00ae. James said, \u201cthe last couple of weeks are important when making weight, so I take my products with me. I really look forward to downing the Complete Hydration as I know the preparation is over and it\u2019s almost fight time!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tune in to see James defend his IBF Super Middleweight Title live on Sky Sports in the early hours of November 29<sup>th<\/sup> (UK time).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/12277380_1649260335323785_1695178333_n.jpg\" alt=\"James DeGale vs Lucian Bute\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BULK POWDERS&trade; athlete James DeGale is nearing the end of preparation for his IBF World Title defence against Lucian Bute.
