BOXING NEWS - Britain's James DeGale says he is fighting fit ahead of the fourth defence of his IBF super-middleweight championship against American Caleb Truax in London.
DeGale takes on Truax at London's Copper Box Arena on Saturday in his first fight on home soil for three years – the boxer's first bout since surgery on his right shoulder following his bruising draw against Badou Jack in January.
But the 31-year-old, who also had a bridge replaced after his two front teeth were knocked out by Jack, believes he is in as good a condition as when he beat Andre Dirrell to become world champion back in 2015.
"It has been a good couple of years since I have felt as healthy as this," DeGale said. "Probably since before the Dirrell fight when I won my world title.
