By Aaron Cooper: James DeGale will finally get his shot at the vacant IBF World Super-Middleweight title against Andre Dirrell on May 23rd in Boston, Massachusetts.

James is hoping to make history by coming the first boxer from Great Britain to win Olympic Gold and a professional world title.

The fight is taking place in Boston due to Roc Nation winning the purse bid. DeGale had hoped to have the fight in his home town of London at the O2 arena in what would have clearly been a bigger event than the fight being held stateside.
