    As soon as he got himself a new missus and a kid, it was only a matter of time before he would have to get back in the ring and start earning again.

    He's just gone through a messy divorce to a wife he had 3 kids with, he's skint. Not to mention his new bird and another kid.

    Don’t know mate.

    Ebanie’s making bank on OnlyFans, so he probably wants to keep out of the house before he ends up becoming a content prop.

    What else is Kell going to do though? If someone is going to offer him a million or two to fight Eubank, he’s always going to take it, and his divorce likely left him cash-strapped anyway.

    He just needs to stay away from anyone that is anywhere near their peak, otherwise he’ll likely need more trauma therapy than his wife.

    Standard, though.

    Regardless, I couldn't care less about seeing Brook nor Eubank. I want to see competitive bouts between men in their prime, boxing for prestige, not gimmick matches centred on celebrity. Outside of the heavyweight division, British boxing is in a sad state.

    Brook should prioritise his health so that the "bebeh" is not caring for him a few years down the line. There were rumours circulating about Liam Smith getting in with Brook.

    Just a poor man's AJ v Fury.

    If happens an easy nights work for both Eubank and Brook, few million each a bit of toy throwing beforehand with both saying it's not about the money but a score that needs to be sorted out. Both shells of fighters they were a dance around for good coin.

    The end of fight brings a hug and Adam Smith saying......'There's the respect, two great servants of British boxing,EMBRACE'.

    I am so bored of these types of fights. The 2010 & early 2020s generation just need to leave.

    Nope.

    0 interest. People tuning in is part of the problem

    Eubank Vs Brook is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    This is absolutely ridiculous, nobody cares about watching Kell Brook now, he was totally shot years ago.

    They're not going to leave when the mug consumer continues to line their pockets. If nobody tuned in, payed the paywall price, or bought tickets, it wouldn't be happening. It's all on the consumer.
