It may only be February, but boxing fans already have an all-British classic on their hands and a bout that’ll go close to being a contender for fight of the year. James DeGale and Chris Eubank Jr put record and reputation on the line in a super-middleweight clash that has kept followers guessing, while splitting opinion amongst lovers of the noble art. Here are our best James DeGale v Chris Eubank Jr betting tips.

The two Englishmen will go toe-to-toe at the 02 Arena in London on 23 February with armchair fans able to follow the action live on ITV Pay-Per-View. A sell-out crowd is expected and the chance to watch from the comfort of your own home is sure to result in a bumper subscription, leaving it in the hands of both men to put on a show.

The vacant IBO world title may be on the line; however, this fight means more than a belt to both men, it’s the chance to grab the bragging rights over the main rival while forcing themselves towards the front of the queue following George Groves’ retirement. Neither will fancy taking on Liverpool’s Callum Smith in a unification bout if they have any sense, but both camps will look at this as a night that’s there to be won. A real 50/50 on paper, but bookmakers don’t see it that way.
