Adam Booth believes Andre Dirrell is the slight favourite to claim the vacant IBF Super-Middleweight title

Adam Booth believes Andre Dirrell will go in to his IBF Super-Middleweight title showdown with James DeGale as the slight favourite.

The pair meet on Saturday night at the Agganis Arena in Boston, with DeGale hoping to create history by becoming the first British Olympic gold medallist to claim a world title. 

Trainer Booth masterminded the lowest point of DeGale's career to date back in 2011, when his tactics inspired George Groves to a majority decision victory over the 29-year-old. 

Ahead of the bout, Booth has tipped Dirrell to claim victory - although he refused to put his house on it!

Watch Booth explain his thoughts on how he thinks it will unfold by clicking on the attached video.
