Eddie Hearn ‏@EddieHearn 2h Gutted to give you the news that @SpecialKBrook is out of his May 15th fight after scans confirmed he has a stress fracture in his foot
**** hopefully this fight in June just make it in Britain, I really want this fight cause Alexander the real deal and this will show it.
Brook hasn't fought since October, and Alexander has already stated he is going to face someone on the May date whether Brook is there or not. Will probably mean that Brook will fight some bum to shake off the ring rust, before challenging for the strap. 2 injuries leading up to a fight....It all seems a bit funny.
Well Alexander is probably going to go ahead and fight on May 18th anyway which IMO is what he should do, looks like Kell is on his way to being stripped of his mandatory spot and if it turns out that this was an injury that he could of fought on with well then he deserves to be stripped. Gutted that this has been pushed back again as i was/am looking forward to this fight although i think Alexander wins it was definitely a fight Brook had a shot in.
Normally I'd throw a fit but the fight is being a bit overshadowed at the moment by a sea of good match-ups coming up.
