Brook-Spence: Kell not worried about right eye

By Daily Sports on May 24, 2017

Kell Brook has full confidence that his surgically repaired right eye will not be an issue for him this Saturday night when he gets inside the ring with Errol Spence Jr. in their long awaited fight at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England.

Brook has had eye surgery to repair a broken right eye socket that he ended up with in his last fight against Gennady Golovkin.

Spence sees Brook’s right eye as 100% healthy after his surgery to fix the problem. Spence feels that if he beats the 31-year-old Brook on Saturday, it’ll be fully because of his boxing ability, talent and power rather than because of his past eye injury.

Brook says he injured his right eye in the 2nd round against Golovkin in their fight on September 10 fight last year.

However, in looking at replays of the fight, Brook was already dabbing at his right eye in the 1st round of the fight after getting shaken up by a monstrous left hook from Golovkin.

Brook was doing fine before getting hit with that shot from GGG.

But after the punch land, Brook was wobbled briefly and he started dab at his right eye.

“They took my eye out and went in through my mouth and into my eye to get the titanium plate put in place,” Brook said to ESPN.com. “They then drilled in three or four screws. That’s what it were, pretty gruesome, but that’s what were necessary.

Everything is fine now and there are no worries about getting hit there.”
