“He Didn’t Come up to Me” – Terence Crawford Says Kell Brook Did Not Make the First Move

Terence Crawford will put his WBO welterweight title and the unbeaten resume at stake when he steps up against Kell Brook in the headliner on November 14. After almost a year of inactivity, ‘Bud’ will enter the ring against a looming veteran.

He is still the favorite on the charts and has all the chances of winning. However, Kell Brook is also an A-listed specialist and has been a world champion before. Thus he has the potential to shock the world at any point.

While Brook hasn’t fought in the whole of 2019, he has returned this year to unleash a knockout win against Mark Deluca in August. He is now ready to go against one of the best world champions of the division.

However, Terence Crawford had several other options other than going against Kell Brook. So, how did the fight eventually come to fruition? In the recent press-conference, Crawford and Brook have revealed the same.

While all the boxers were present, Crawford was asked to reminisce about how the fight had its roots in Las Vegas last year. Kell Brook’s weight was initially a hurdle in setting up the fight, but the ‘Special K’ took care of it.

‘Bud’ said, “I went up to him (Kell Brook), he didn’t come up to me and I asked him was he going to make weight and that’s when he asked me and told me that I was running out of opponents.”

As per Brook, he didn’t face any challenges while coming to welterweight. Moreover, he felt that he was in the best shape of his career.

‘The Special K’ said, “No challenges, I don’t know if you have seen any pictures of me but you can see I am in fantastic shape. You know this is the best I have ever been in me career as I am getting older. I am like a fine wine, I am getting better as I am getting older to be honest.”

The welterweight title fight will demand the best from both the elites. No matter who takes the win, fight fans will clearly experience a high-voltage clash this weekend.
