LONDON: American Caleb Truax stunned Britain’s former Olympic champion James DeGale on a majority decision to win the IBF world super-middleweight title in London on Saturday.
The 31-year-old DeGale was making the fourth defence of his title in his first fight on home soil for three years, but the 2008 Beijing gold medallist was condemned to just the second defeat of his career.
Two judges scored in favour of Truax, the American ahead 115-112 and 116-112 on those cards, with a third judge scoring the fight as a draw as DeGale was dethroned by the challenger.
“Crazy. I can’t believe it. I’ve got to go back to the drawing board and change things. I thought I won it but I have to go back and sort a couple things,” DeGale told BT Sport.
