James DeGale believes that he has what it takes to defeat Carl Froch.

James DeGale believes that he is ready to fight unified IBF and WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch.

The 27-year-old said that he has the skill set to defeat the 'Cobra', who last week declared that he would end DeGale's career should they ever meet inside the ring.

"He's a good fighter Carl Froch, a very good fighter, but my style is all wrong for him," the Olympic gold medallist told Sky Sports News. "Look at the fighters that have given him trouble - [Andre] Ward, [Andre] Dirrell, [Jermain] Taylor - move, speed. I think I'll be all wrong for him.

"I'm here if Carl Froch wants the fight. If the boxing fans want the fight, I'm here. I would have it next week, but I'm not too sure what he wants to do.

"I've heard he said if he fought me, he would destroy my career. I think it's the other way around. If I fought him and beat him, how could he lose to me?"

DeGale defends his WBC Silver title against Stjepan Bozic in Kent on Saturday.
