Kell Brook who also went into retirement after that fight recently in an interview mentioned the severity of boxing. He said: “It is a sport where you can legally get killed. You are walking into the ring with loaded guns in your hands, you can kill a man. But I do believe he didn’t know anything about it. I do believe what he is saying is true.” to metro.co.uk.
“He got tested like I got tested a lot of times in the build-up to that fight. Listening to people who know a little bit more about that kind of thing, it just doesn’t make sense that he would do that intentionally.” Brook added.
