JAMES DEGALE celebrated recapturing the IBF super-middleweight world title by undergoing a £6,000 hair transplant.
On April 7 in Las Vegas, the 32-year-old boxer avenged a shock defeat to Caleb Truax four months previous to secure a unanimous points decision against the same man.
With the gold strapped back around his waist, the 2008 Olympic gold medallist decided to add something else to the look.
DeGale had already held a consultation at the British Hair Clinic, based in Brentwood, Essex, and went through with the procedure after his big fight in the US.
And just as that night in Sin City proved a success, so did his date with the surgeon.
Speaking exclusively to SunSport, Dr Shuja Chaudhry, the surgeon at the clinic, said: "James was delighted he had made the right decision to undergo a hair transplant.
"Along with his sister he was very grateful for the excellent service they had received from consultation through to the end of the procedure.
"James was particularly pleased with the attention to detail, how precise the surgeon was and how he was able to accommodate James' questions and concerns regardless how irrelevant they may have been.
