Eubank Jr was understandably delighted after the result was announced and was thrilled that he was able to silence the doubters with such an impressive display.

"I'm back where I need to be - at the top of the food chain and now I'm coming for all the other belts in the super-middleweight division,” he told ITV Box Office, per BBC Sport. “I knew he (DeGale) would come in here and run, I've been working on my jabs, he is a very slick southpaw but the gameplan worked, smart pressure, not getting too ahead of myself, picking my shots and choosing my time to attack.

"I dominated pretty much every round. He is a hell of a skilled fighter but my heart and tenacity got me there. A lot of people said I was going to get my head jabbed off and not stand with a proven boxer. It was the most important fight of my career and I've made the statement. It is belt season, it is collection season.

"He didn't quit, he was man enough to stay in the 12 rounds."

DeGale, who is now expected to retire, added: "I've left my mark in boxing. Chris is tough, he is a good prospect, he was on it. I just didn't enough there are a lot of wild punches, punches I didn't see. He was nicking the rounds and I have to go back and watch it, i just didn't do enough.

"I'm going to go back, talk to my team and talk to my family. I've been to the heights of boxing, I've won an Olympic gold medal, won the world title twice, made history and I've boxed the best around the world, I've left my mark in boxing."
