Welterweight titlist Kell Brook had successful orbital bone surgery following is stoppage defeated to middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
“All went well and he’s resting up,” Anthony Leaver, spokesman for Brook promoter Matchroom Boxing, told ESPN.com on Wednesday.
“He looked worse after the fight than he did after the operation,” trainer Dominc Ingle told the Sheffield Star. “The surgeon, who was called Mohammed Ali, believe it or not, went up through his gums, his front teeth, moved an eye to one side and then sorted out the fracture. Kell is good, though, and doesn’t want any delays before his next fight. He wants to be out again early in the new year, rather than later.”
