Kell Brook has a case of nerves ahead of his fight this Saturday night on March 3 against the bruising slugger Sergey Rabchenko in their fight at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England.
If Brook (36-2, 25 KOs) is beaten by the 31-year-old Rabchenko (29-2, 22 KOs) in this fight, it may be over for him in the fistic sport. He’ll never get the Amir Khan cash out fight to feather his retirement.
Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn has already made it clear. If Brook loses to Rabchenko, it’s game over for him. Brook is down to his last 3 to 5 fights in his career, and it might be less than that if he loses to Rabchenko.
It’s Brook that wanted this fight. He turned down a slew of fighters offered to him by Hearn for his March 3rd fight.
“I’ve got the butterflies and nerves just like it’s my first time getting in there,” said Brook to skysports.com. “I think that I need to feel like that though, those nerves are going to make me sharper because I know that there’s a lot at stake on Saturday.”
Brook is fighting in the junior middleweight division, and he’s not going anywhere in this weight class unless Hearn is able to put a fight together against paper champion Sadam Ali the WBO 154lb. champion, who recently beat an over-the-hill Miguel Cotto.
