DeGale And Eubank Jr Hit The Roof At The O2

Share on WhatsappTwitterFacebook

James DeGale and Chris Eubank Jr. squared up on top of the O2 in London today ahead of their fight inside the arena on February 23.

 

Going toe-to-toe with the stunning London skyline as the backdrop, the pair faced off 52 metres above ground level on the Up At The O2 walkway - with the city’s brooding clouds a perfect match for the fight’s title - A Storm Is Coming.

 

The boxers set foot on the landmark’s famous canvas roof as they count down the weeks before they enter the ring staged beneath it on 23 February where they will each aim to send the other tumbling to the canvas in defeat.

 

Donning ITV Box Office-branded robes and gloves for the event, the fighters continued the build-up to their electrifying Super Middleweight clash with a few words to each other as they were filmed by a drone as part of the channel’s fight promotion ahead of its exclusive live coverage.

 

James DeGale said: “This is a great view - but the best sight for me will be when the referee raises my arm at the end of the fight. By knockout or points, either way I’m leaving the ring the winner. Having the London skyline as the backdrop is entirely appropriate - I’m aiming for the stars, but first I aim to conquer Chris Eubank at The O2."

 

Chris Eubank Jr said: “I’m right at the top of my game - and I want the city to shake with the impact of my punches. The only view that’s going to stick in his mind is looking up at me from the canvas after I lay him out.”

 

The fight will be shown exclusively live on ITV Box Office and features a full undercard including Lee Selby’s big ring return against Omar Douglas, a heavyweight collision between Commonwealth Champion Joe Joyce and challenger and Former World Champion Bermane Stiverne and the British Light-Heavyweight Title Eliminator between Andre Sterling and Ricky Summers.
