His only loss occurred when he faced George Groves in 2011 (via split decision, Groves vs DeGale), since then he has won 12 consecutive bouts defeating Andre Dirrell (=DeGale vs Dirrell) and Lucian Bute in 2015 (=DeGale vs Bute).

Medina gave the fight of his life.
To bad he didnt watch tapes of Barrera Vs Hamed. Degale reminds me of a lesser Hamed.
Degale needs to stop thinking of himself as a puncher.
