By Scott Gilfoid: Britain’s Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) better hope his injured foot has a miraculous recovery because of it’s not healed by May 18th in time for his title challenge against IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s), then Brook may end up waiting an awful long time before he gets another shot at the title.
Alexander’s promoter at Golden Boy Promotions Richard Schaefer is saying that Alexander will be fighting on May 18th against somebody. If it’s Brook, then it’s all good, but if he can’t make it to the fight due to his aching feet then that’s on him.
Alexander will fight somebody else and Brook will either have to wait another four to six months for another chance or he’ll have to look elsewhere for another welterweight champion to fight.
