    James DeGale wanted to show his home fans in the U.K. what they had been missing but failed to deliver as he lost his world title on a majority decision to Caleb Truax on Saturday.

    The English boxer's first fight in England since November 2014 quickly turned into a nightmare as he allowed Truax to dictate matters from the second round.

    The unheralded American went on to deservedly win by scores of 116-112, 115-112 and 114-114 and claimed the IBF world super-middleweight title from DeGale, who was making a fourth defence, at the Copper Box Arena in Stratford, east London.
