adminSHEFFIELD. — Kell Brook broke his left eye socket in Saturday’s defeat by Errol Spence Jnr, his trainer Dominic Ingle has said.
The Briton struggled with swelling on his left eye midway through the bout as he lost the IBF world welterweight title to the American in Sheffield. Brook (31) had surgery after breaking his right eye socket in a loss to Gennady Golovkin in September. “It’s the same injury he sustained in the Golovkin fight but in the opposite eye,” Ingle told BBC Radio 5 live.
Brook was knocked down by 27-year-old Spence in the 10th round and then stopped in the 11th, with his eye heavily swollen.
“It’s disappointing for Kell to find himself in the same place again – in his comeback fight, but with the same damage,” Ingle added. — BBC Sport
