Last night Kell Brook was heavily defeated by Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin in a middleweight boxing match. It lasted five rounds and Kell Brook's corner decided that it was best to stop the fight.
And Chris Eubank Jnr. has come out and said something pretty ridiculous.
"My corner don't own towels."

As in Brook and his team threw the towel in.
Let's wind the clock back a few months here. Fighting Nick Blackwell, the son of Chris Eubank Snr. put his opponent in a coma after the referee wouldn't stop the fight early.

With large swelling and cuts, Blackwell's team also would not call an end to the the fight. And with a bleed to the brain, he was eventually rushed to hospital and put in an induced coma.
Blackwell with trainer Gary Lockett in high spirits.
It's this completely insensitive and badly thought out post that has riled people. Among hundreds of comments, most are slating him for it.
Sure, part of boxing is the macho lingo that goes with it, but it's not surprising that his comment has been made with scorn and criticism.

Who would win between Eubank Jnr. and Golovkin, lads?
