James DeGale returns after six years: a bare-knuckle fight against Floyd.

According to The Sun: James DeGale will step into the ring for the first time in six years to face Matt Floyd tonight.

However, the British boxer, 2008 Olympic champion and two-time world champion, will not wear gloves. This time, he will fight without them.

DeGale will meet Floyd in a bare-knuckle fight at BKFC 81, which will take place in Manchester.

The Brit is the favorite for this bout, but it cannot be called easy.

Floyd is an active professional boxer with a sports record of 15-2. All his fights have taken place after DeGale retired, and he suffered a loss in his last bout.

The 39-year-old DeGale left boxing due to injuries but promises to be in top shape for this match.

"This time, the gloves are off. Everyone is asking what shape they'll see me in… [six] years out, the body has healed, the mind is sharp – this is the best version."

"We have a devastating job ahead. See you in the ring."
