It's unbelievable that we managed to get these two in the same room without Degale calling him "ugly kid" or Groves saying his ego is too big. I've never been this nervous watching a podcast. This truly was the best rivalry I'd ever witnessed. Both were outstanding fighters too.
Great episode. Need to get James Degale back on for a longer period of time. Nice to see these two sitting down and being civil to each other and looking comfortable in each others company
Degale did exactly what tony bellew said he was gonna do when he retired but he actually did it and that was step away from the boxing world for the most part and has just been enjoying his life with his friends and family.
Agreed. I went Bellew Cleverly 2 and although the undercard wasn't competitive, the names were stacked. Like look at the shite on Sky Sports now with Boxxer.
@@vulch2098yeah it was Groves-Douglin,Degale-Periban and AJ-Sprott. Think Scott quigg and Jamie McDonell defended the world titles as well on the card. Nowadays you're getting Lawrence Okolie and Lauren price stinking out the Joint. Sky went out sad with the boxing
@brettworrallo395 true indeed. He was never walking out of Vegas against a mayweather fighter unless clean KO. In the end. He did brilliantly under adversity !!
@brettworrallo395 Degale was extremely talented and he was a road man who found boxing young a.d luckily had a mum n.dad togetherto focus n support him. But his trainer Jim McDonnel basically MADE him. At peak fitness Degale was a handful for anyone. Ask Badou Jack. Degal got dropped in that fight and lost teeth. But to me never looked like losing in the moment ...
Great pod! 🔥🔥🔥 Was brilliant to have the history man James DeGale on the podcast! Achieved everything in the sport! DeGale Groves was the best boxing rivalry! 🥊🔥
@@perrynagpal5351Great boxer but had stamina issues. He would always gas towards end of fight. Look at the Jack fight, he was finished in that. But great boxer
@@Steve-ArfArf Bro I thought DeGale won the Jack fight, he just didn’t get the decision and it was a draw. Unfortunately he had a few injuries like the shoulder after that, but an elite level boxer for sure 🔥🥊
Id always watched boxing casually with my dad like the big big fights when I was younger but when these guys had there rivalry I was about 15-16 before there first fight and I just remember the build up for it on Ringside and it really got me invested to the point I just started watching as much boxing as I could and nearly 15 years later im still a massive fan of the sport. British boxing misses domestic rivalries like the one they had because they made a British/Commonwealth title fight must watch
I absolutely loved that. Felt a bit nostalgic watching it. Would love to see more of James back around boxing. He always cracks me up when he's running his mouth.
Degale was a touch of class a real natural ,great to see em together getting on .both great fighters in there own right, makes ye proud 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴
Great video. The rivalry and the history is still there, as it always will be, but they seem to be on good terms now. They were having a good laugh too. THANKS!
Loved watching this……two warriors with a history and rivalry going back to when they were young boys……both great lads and fighters…..as a Londoner i could never pick one over the other
I remember watching these 2 box each other. Great fight. I thought degale scraped it at the time. Watched it a few times since and scored it to Groves as well. Degale had skills to burn. Classy as hell. Groves was no slouch either with a superb jab, and a hammer of a right hand.
I'd watch these 2 fight again for sure, loved the rivalry followed it right through. Was amazing to watch the swings back and forth throughout their careers. Groves was a heavy underdog in the first pro fight. Brilliant rivalry 👌
Its so weird because I was literally thinking last night, wonder what James Degales up to nowadays and if he’s done any podcasts Weirder still I was thinking about the question who had a better career of Groves Degale, my outcome was I think Groves had the higher profile career and Degale had the better career in terms of World Level. Great to see them on a podcast together
Enjoyed that! There was genuine needle back then which made a non-world title/final eliminator domestic dust-up really worth tuning in for which doesn’t always happen and it made me follow both your careers from that point onwards (Groves as a fan and DeGale as I was hoping to see him fail!). Great to see the respect between you both
George is now the mediator of the boxing. The new His Excellency in mending relationships. He will have Calzaghe and Froch shaking hands and drinking coffee next.
Hey I was wondering how I missed George having his own channel, just discovered this is the first vid, what an interview to kick it off. Groves one of the best pundits there is so this channel will be great. Big up George Groves!
I smiled from start to finish off this video, chunky is such a great character, there's still a spiky atmosphere when he's in the room. We don't get to see enough of him.....great careers for both men and a great credit to British boxing 🥊🥊
@@adrianhargreaves2854 He really doesn't mate. It would look like the bout he had with Groves except worse cos Groves was out of his prime then. Prime Chunky toys with Eubank Jr
Back 2 the future part 2 was better than theoriginal and on another nite I've just subscribed. Looking forward to seeing your channel blossom like Carl Froch. Congratulations GG! 👊🏽
Great to see these two getting on now , that’s what boxing’s all about, I was there when degale was ranked number 2 in gb and he boxed Barr who was number 1 he was master class , I lost a close one to Chisora that night, I think Degale had the better career but Groves had the better rivalries.
Really enjoy your interviews George, when ever there is a big fight I always look for your opinion on it first ..you seem to be one of the few people that like Eubank jr ..any chance you could do an interview with him and see what he’s doing with his career?
They needed the heat to make the fight what it was. I like Chunky and like Groves even more, brilliant personality and pundit, I actually think when it comes to talking and listening Boxing that Groves is at the top, very articulate and knowledgeable. Wish them both the best of health and hope they carry this forward.
degale has really changed since he has started being treated for his severe adhd hes a lot more calmer and cooler you can see he now calculates his thoughts as they arent constantly trying to escape him, good for him man
Lots of editing involved in this which makes me wonder what was happening in the gaps. Good to see these two together. The dynamic is still like old. Degale constantly trying to sell his career whilst Groves finds it almost too easy to antagonise and not agree with him

Well done George. I have subscribed straight away. I hope you go from strength to strength.
George and James should do it last fight be great
George, what happened to the GGBC???
It's unbelievable that we managed to get these two in the same room without Degale calling him "ugly kid" or Groves saying his ego is too big. I've never been this nervous watching a podcast. This truly was the best rivalry I'd ever witnessed. Both were outstanding fighters too.
This needs more publicity as I think a lot more people would be interested in this video with these two. 👍
This is boxing po*n. Love seeing the old rivals getting along after retirement. Thank you!
DeGale is a character 😂
And let's not forget he boxed with DS stitched into his shorts as tribute to fallen rival Darren Sutherland. A classy gesture
That was a class thing to do the boxed each other 6 times in the Amateurs .

@@theboxingboy7422 Tony Bellew's needs to take a page from DeGale's book. Make your money then lay low.
Boxing misses these guys
Yup, not a lot of characters left. There'll be even less in 1-2 years left.
Agreed. I went Bellew Cleverly 2 and although the undercard wasn't competitive, the names were stacked. Like look at the shite on Sky Sports now with Boxxer.
Mate so much
The fact we never got to see Degale-Groves 2 when they were both world champions at the same time was criminal in Hindsight.

This is so brilliant to see, I followed both of their careers from near enough the start.
DeGale was never the same after the Badou Jack fight .... great interview
Although he did represent in that fight earned a fair hard earned draw!!
@@nathanroberts7447he got screwed of win
@brettworrallo395 true indeed. He was never walking out of Vegas against a mayweather fighter unless clean KO. In the end.
He did brilliantly under adversity !!
@@nathanroberts7447 actually the fight I changed my opinion on him because I thought he was a paper champion before that

Can't wait for next week's episode with Adam Boothe! 😂😂
Great pod! 🔥🔥🔥 Was brilliant to have the history man James DeGale on the podcast! Achieved everything in the sport! DeGale Groves was the best boxing rivalry! 🥊🔥
Big up degale real legend doesn’t get the credit but he’s a. All time British great for me
Never a great ..good
DeGale was the best super middleweight in his prime. Just watch his fights against Andre Dirrell and Lucian Bute. Very skilled boxer and elusive 🥊
@@perrynagpal5351Great boxer but had stamina issues. He would always gas towards end of fight. Look at the Jack fight, he was finished in that. But great boxer

@otey7326 Yeah I agree, I don't think there's any respect there from both guys. You could see and feel the hate runs deep still.

Great stuff. Don’t always have to end up best mates but the respect being shown is good. No personal vendetta just sporting rivals, healthy!
Great video. The rivalry and the history is still there, as it always will be, but they seem to be on good terms now. They were having a good laugh too. THANKS!
Great video and the best guest! Gotta get DeGale on the podcast for longer 🔥🥊
Lint roller!! That ❄️ glistening on the HD cam 😉 Amazing episode guys!!
Love this. All these guys + Froch and Haye all seem like great guys once they come away from the ring.
This one should be billed as the Battle of the Hairlines!😂
Why
@@kendall_knows_best2872 because they've both had hair jobbies!
@967mviews2 has degale had one too?
@stevenknight1198 I dont think, so I just thought both their Hairlines look like they are battling their foreheads
@robdye5885 I don't get what you mean, could you explain?
Both had Amazing careers and I was fortunate enough to watch both of them
Absolutely class this, would love a follow up episode

Quality lads. Two boys that inspired me back when yall were on top and coming up 👊
I'd watch these 2 fight again for sure, loved the rivalry followed it right through. Was amazing to watch the swings back and forth throughout their careers. Groves was a heavy underdog in the first pro fight. Brilliant rivalry 👌
Says a lot about George when he’s extended the olive branch to his biggest rival.
Says a lot about both of them, fair play
How good was it to see these two together absolutely brilliant loved every minute 🏴🥊
First time ive seen james in years.Groves deservedly got the decision against james in my opinion.
Its so weird because I was literally thinking last night, wonder what James Degales up to nowadays and if he’s done any podcasts
Weirder still I was thinking about the question who had a better career of Groves Degale, my outcome was I think Groves had the higher profile career and Degale had the better career in terms of World Level.
Great to see them on a podcast together
This is great to see. Respect to ya both. Class fighters. Uk is proud of you both. Hopefully this happens more often with ya
Good to see them both sitting down being amicable after the rivalry . These two would be a great podcast duo 🙌🙌
Great to see these two together ...legends.
Great fighters both had short careers in a very tough super middleweight division, both deserving world champions
Been waiting for this 😂
Quality! Chunky still got that energy.
Criminal these two didn't fight again! One of my favourite interviews, well played chaps 👊🏻

Didn't even know you had a channel, George... instant subscribe for this.
Nice to see these rivals chilling. Both great fighters. Respect to De Gale who put himself out there when he went U.S
Degale calling Eubank shit 😂 that loss still hurting him
Eubank doesn't win a round against a prime Chunky
Degale was a shadow took too much punishment in his career.

i always wonder about james
Gayyyyyyeeeee..!!!!!
Uk boxing needs more characters like Degale ! Talked the talk but also walked the walk 🫡👊🏾💯
This was AWESOME to watch ❤🎉😊
Very proud of you boys for doing this. Proud of you both gents. Dale Youth was the best gym, we can agree on that.
Needs to be longer. Enjoyed it
Great to see them getting on two great fighters and top guys well done guys
Great to see these two getting on now , that’s what boxing’s all about, I was there when degale was ranked number 2 in gb and he boxed Barr who was number 1 he was master class , I lost a close one to Chisora that night, I think Degale had the better career but Groves had the better rivalries.
Finally your own RUclips Channel George 🥊💯
Great content mate love it all
Really enjoy your interviews George, when ever there is a big fight I always look for your opinion on it first ..you seem to be one of the few people that like Eubank jr ..any chance you could do an interview with him and see what he’s doing with his career?
Thoroughly enjoyed this. I was always Team Cobra back in the day but really like St George in the past few years - class bloke 🙌
Love the pod lads but please bring back the microphones for clearer audio
Good to see the lads having a laugh .. was always a groves man but James grew on me later life didn’t back down either of these 2
I like this! Good on you, fellas
I’d love to see the bits that were edited out
This was great 🥊!
