    Did he quit boxing and become a presenter? I read that somewhere.

    Found these articles from November and December 2017 and it sounds like a very nasty injury. Now on his fourth operation and needs to get medical clearence from the BBBoC. I would be surprised if he ever boxes again.

    Chicken Legs Ogogo will never be a World Boxing Champ - he may win Celeb Big Brother though or some other tripe

    Judging by the articles posted above it turns out it's a actually a good thing he did all the media stuff. He'd be even more broke without it. Nothing is guaranteed in boxing or in life.

    From the Guardian article Novemebr 2017:

    "I saw 10 different doctors because there were seven fractures. The issue was the eye-socket – which protects the eyeball and the muscles which move the eye. The eye-socket had to be repaired but there was soft-tissue damage. These eye muscles are as thin as clingfilm and they don’t repair themselves like a leg muscle. All they can do is go into the good eye and weaken the muscle to replicate it so that both eyes are aligned. At the moment my eyes don’t work together. They look in different directions. It’s a squint. My right eye is lower than the left."

    Interestingly, he goes on to reference Brook:

    “But the left eye-socket is now stronger than before. The orbital floor where the eye sits is like eggshell. Kell Brook had a plate inserted after his eye‑socket was dislocated twice by Gennady Golovkin and Errol Spence. But a plate can still get bent. Professor Simon Holmes at the Royal London Hospital did my orbital repair and he put in something thicker and sturdier – so it can’t break. He was great.

    “I’ve now just got the height discrepancy between my eyes. He’s going to do my next surgery on 6 December so that the eyes are realigned. He believes he can get me back. I may have to change my style to compensate but I would cut my leg off to box again. Fingers crossed one more surgery and I’ll be back.”

    He is finished and so is Brook as soon as he fights a live opponent that hits him
