    Kell has no confidence at the moment and after two defeats you can't really blame him. This is why he needs to get back in the ring and start winning again and I am sure once he does this then the confidence will come back and he will be a force at 154 lbs. I'm a massive fan of Kell's and been to a lot of his fights including his 2 defeats and I still think he can be a World champion again

    I don’t like Khan but I think he’s just tryna get some buzz back and claim he’s got years left

    The 3 fight deal suggested to me that it’s his final 3 fights

    I think the 3 fight deal is a standard thing in boxing. Warren has a 3 fight deal with Frampton as far as I'm aware and Eubank Jr had a 3 fight deal with Hearn before he linked up with ITV.

    But fighters needs to be saved from themselves. They would fight anyone. It's up to the promoter and manager to put the foot down and say this is not a good idea. Eddie was actually hyping Brook's chances of winning. It was a seriously terrible mistake to put an undefeated WW world champion in with one of the most hard hitting MW champions we've ever seen.

    Maybe also Hearn's disloyalty has demoralised him ?

    Bellew is clever though he chose the perfect opponent a old,loudmouth Haye.Haye chose the perfect opponent in Bellew a loudmouth to sell,a amicable opponent.Do you see what i'm saying Brook dosent have brains,he chose to fight the most powerful,merciless puncher in Boxing when he didnt have to.Yes Kell their was a reason why everyone was avoiding Golvokin and you experienced why.Bellew/Haye probably made more money than Golvokin/Brook which both Bellew/Haye didnt deserve espically Haye.Kell would've had his pay'slips but they would've been in America as i am sure Showtime would've came for him to fight their top boys.Thurman,Spence,Garcia,Porter

    Brook is finished simple....rebuilt face after too many smash ups has finished him. Hearn done best he could with him but Warren I feel in my opinion ruined his potential when he was in his prime!

    People have short memories. Before Kell fought GGG everyone was complaining he was taking easy fights with Gavin, Bizier etc and now he has had two tough contents the same people are blaming him for taking them. Yes it was a gamble to take on GGG but it took balls and increased his reputation after. If he had said no to Spence then everyone would have said he had bottled it. He can't win either way. I just hope he can get back to the top where he belongs.

    You're getting knocked out by rabchenko mate so it's one fight not one year

    Makes you wonder what he actually thinks he can achieve in the space of a year? Realistically, that's 3 fights max - Rabchenko and two others. Unless he's hoping Liam Smith can win the WBO belt and Eddie can arrange a match between them, or a big swansong against Khan (who might go for it if it's at 154? - he has a ready made excuse if he loses). I certainly don't think he can get back to the top in that time frame after his last two fights and would suggest Kell is just after a retirement payday. Good luck to him, but I will be seriously annoyed if we end up with Fast Eddie hyping either of those glorified pension fights up as a PPV event!!!

    One year left at his age? He's following Haye's failed blueprint.

    Haye had achieved way more and most likely had made way more money at the time of his first retirement though.

    Brooke will be fighting beyond 1 year. Once rabchenko is out the way he will be fine.

    Still had an early cash out plan without achieving a lot his goals due to a desire to get out of the game. Wasted a lot of time with that nonsense.

    If the right rabchenko turns up brook is finished. Obviously rab hasn't been too busy but this should wet his appetite to train properly. If the rabchenko that beat Rhodes is still in there somewhere then kel is in deep deep water
