    Shot fighters exist in boxing. It’s irrefutable.

    This. It's easy commenting with hindsight now but that's just the way the cards are/were dealt and you have to play them at the time.

    That’s a shame, I thought he was doing the right thing for once in his career

    They probably put it out there to see if it somehow help smoke Khan out, as Kell is only hanging on for that, which is wise IMO as he’s shot to bits and only risking his health by fighting somebody dangerous.

    That statement is worrying, basically saying "if I can get a big paycheck I'll take a beating, if not I'll retire"

    His heart is completely not in it anymore

    Was he even that talented? It's hard to tell he was basically 35 and 0 and his biggest fight was Carson Jones,

    the rumours where started by ex gym participants. It was a suggestion if he cannot get any big fights. he doesn't want to fight Zelfra etc type of fighters as he sees it waste of time. So it was taken out of context.

    That was a great win but in a 40 fight career he is the only highlight of note.

    If he fights anyone above the level of that part time boxer full time male escort fella he’s getting his eye sockets smashed to bits. Shot fighter.

    you can't fight without medical clearance. Also the operation is very common with combat sport injurys. They put titanium plates which actually strong than bone. Its more psychological factor than physical.
