English welterweight boxer Kell Brook (36-2, 25 KOs) lost his IBF title to Errol Spence Jr. (22-0, 19 KOs) in Saturday’s main event showdown in Brook’s hometown of Sheffield. It was his first loss as a welterweight, having previously suffered a TKO defeat to Gennady Golovkin in an unexpected middleweight championship opportunity.
When Brook lost to GGG, his corner threw in the towel as his right eye was getting progressively worse and he was taking heavy punishment. He needed surgery to repair his fractured orbital bone.
