    Apparently he was 2 stone overweight a few weeks ago

    I'd imagine he does put a bit on when he's not training, especially when he's probably not doing much/any cardio.

    He definitely looks devastated. Can't believe some people think he doesn't want the fight.

    I saw a man feeling sorry for himself.

    Nelson rocking the jeans / tie combo. Terrible look.

    Business on the top, party down below.

    He does look very big. He probably only found out he wasn't going to be fighting a week ago. Either he's packed on a **** load of a weight in a week since he's stopped training or was already far off the 147lbs limit with only a month to go.

    Probably more to this "he hurt his foot" story.

    Khan's bumboy Saj tweeted that he'd been out on the **** every night and wasn't gonna make weight so that's why they called the fight off.

    Obviously that's from Saj though so, you know...

    Wouldn't surprise me to be honest. Brook has a reputation as a bit of a party animal doesn't he? I believe that he has a bad foot injury, I just also believe that there's other issues like the weight and preparation that were a factor too. Kell may be guttered but I honestly Eddie Hearn may secretly be relieved as **** if something has been going on behind the scenes that he knows about.

    He looked upset but to me he didn't seem comfortable explaining his Foot injury as others have said maybe there is more to this story.

    I agree.

    I reckon the foot injury was something he otherwise could have overcome, but realising he was also overweight and required to work a little harder to get in shape, he didn't want to jeopardize it. His '0', at this point, is probably more valuable to him and Hearn than a title shot.

    Feel bad for Kell, he looks devastated. He's talking some sense at the end there aswell 'do i even deserve to fight for a world title'
