Hooker explained why he pulled out of the fight against Green

“Yesterday I was sparring and blocked a kick with my hand. I had an x-ray, nothing good. Fracture in the same place. What can you do? I took a risk and came back too quickly. It's my fault, I was in a hurry to return. I wanted to fight and I knew there was such a risk. As they say, I rolled the dice and got two ones. Now we need to heal the sores properly. The 300th tournament in five months is a reasonable goal for me. Nothing just happens.”
