DeGale weighs in for Bozic showdown
James DeGale weighed in at exactly the 12-stone super-middleweight limit ahead of Saturday’s clash with former world title challenger Stjepan Bozic at Glow, Bluewater.
Harlesden’s Olympic gold medallist will be defending his WBC Silver title against the Croatian, who weighed 11st 13lb 6oz.
DeGale, 27, is making a swift return to action, having demolished Sebestien Demers in Canada only three weeks ago.
Bozic, 38, has won 26 of his 32 fights and his six defeats include a loss to former world champion Arthur Abraham last year and an unsuccessful attempt to beat Dimitri Sartison for the WBA championship in 2009.
A victory would keep DeGale on course for a world title shot or a rematch with bitter rival and fellow West Londoner George Groves, who edged a close points decision when they met in 2010.
