DeGale Force

Boxing history was made this week.

James DeGale from London is the first British fighter to become an Olympic gold medallist and a professional world champion.

In Boston on Saturday, DeGale beat American Andre Dirrell by unanimous decision to win the vacant IBF Super Middleweight World Championship belt.

He's now back in the UK and came to see us in the Sport Today studio.

John Bennett began by asking James DeGale to name some of the boxing greats who have, like him, won a world title and an Olympic title.
