Jamie McDonnell and Dave Coldwell try to learn French before their trip to Monte Carlo

Jamie McDonnell has landed in Monte Carlo, so it is time to show the principality he is a bilingual bantamweight world champion.

The WBA boss and trainer, David Coldwell, are on the French Riviera ahead of the Doncaster man's title defence against Liborio Solis on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports.

McDonnell has fought on the Côte d'Azur before, beating Jerome Arnould in Cannes in 2010 to claim the European title.

So before leaving Yorkshire, him and trainer Coldwell sent a message to Monte Carlo, telling them British boxing is the best in the world... or at least they tried.

Is McDonnell's French 'magnifique'? Is Coldwell's 'parfait'? All you have to do is click on the video at the top of the article to see for yourself. Allez!
