Londoner became the first British Olympic gold medal winner to also claim a professional title.

James DeGale has announced his retirement following his unanimous points defeat by Chris Eubank Jr.

The 33-year-old is a two-time world champion and 2008 Olympic champion and is the first British boxer to win both an Olympic gold medal and a professional world title.

DeGale said in a statement: "Today marks 10 years since my professional debut fight on February 28, 2009 and today is the day I am announcing my retirement from boxing.

He made another successful title defence against Rogelio Medina in Washington DC in February 2016.

DeGale's bid to unify his IBF world super-middleweight title with Badou Jack's WBC crown ended in a draw the following January.

The Hammersmith-born fighter was then beaten by relative unknown Caleb Truax at the Copper Box Arena in December 2017 before winning his title back in April last year in a Las Vegas rematch.

DeGale finishes his professional career with 25 wins, three defeats and one draw.
