Brooke: "They said they wouldn't pay if I didn't change my gloves"

At last weekend in Manchester, one of the strangest episodes in the history of professional boxing occurred. Kell Brook entered the ring to the fight against Amir Khana And immediately began to shoot gloves to change them to softer GRANT. Before the start of battle behind the scenes, a dispute broke out due to the agreed brand. According to Brook, he was threatened not to pay for a duel if he had not agreed to change gloves.

"I had to put on the ring other gloves. Khan said that he does not like my gloves. At the last moment before leaving I was told that I did not pay, if I do not wear new gloves, "- Brooke said.

Change gloves little helped Khan. Already in the first round, he began to miss the blows that shook it noticeably, and after six rounds of incomplete one-sided beating not lost his nerve at the referee to stop the fight two 35-year veterans of the far end of his career.

The contract for this fight, sold out tickets for the 20000th arena in 10 minutes, there is a point of revenge in favor of Khan, but it is unlikely that the boxer from Bolton take advantage of this option. After ten years of mutual hostility Brooke too little interest to meet with Khan for the second time.

"I spent a lot of time to prepare for this fight. The audience will not remember all of my fights, they will remember only how I fought Amir Khan - says Brooke. - With all due respect to the Amir, but in the ring with him it was easy. I am glad that the head of Amir Khan in my career is closed. This is the cherry on the cake, I can feel comfortable knowing that I won it. Do I want to continue to speak out? Now I'm going to sit down with your family and think about their future in the sport. "
