Preview: Premier Boxing Champions ‘Dirrell vs. DeGale’

Andre Dirrell (24-1, 16 KOs) vs. James DeGale (20-1, 14 KOs)

On Saturday at Boston University’s Agganis Arena, Andre Dirrell and James DeGale will vie for the IBF super middleweight title recently vacated by Carl Froch. The bout is the latest of Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions series and airs on NBC beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT.

Dirrell, a 2004 Olympic bronze medalist, will look to restore some luster to the family name after his brother, Anthony, lost his WBC super middleweight crown to Badou Jack in another PBC event on April 24.
