James DeGale ends six-year retirement to fight in brutal sport promoted by UFC legend Conor McGregor

James DeGale has reportedly signed with Conor McGregor’s promotion ahead of a return to fighting.

However, he hasn’t competed since a comprehensive decision loss at the hands of Chris Eubank Jr in 2019.

But now, the warrior has seemingly decided that now is the time to return to action and make a few more memories.
