Kell Brook\u2019s Ricky Hatton tribute fight has been moved to a new date and venue as Ebanie Bridges drooled over his incredible physique.<\/p>\n

The former multiple-weight world champion is returning to the ring at the age of 39<\/a> to face Eisa Al Dah. Brook last stepped into the ring in February 2022 and was set to make an emotional comeback next month to support The Ricky Hatton Foundation, but the fight has been postponed until late summer this year due to the conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Hatton was scheduled to fight Al Dah in February but Brook has stepped in following the tragic death of \u2018The Hitman\u2019 in September. And Brook is cutting no corners in his preparation as he showed off his ripped body<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brook\u2019s partner and fellow boxer Ebanie drooled over Brook\u2019s physique as she captioned the post: \u201cScale 1-10 rate @SpecialKBrook physique. I\u2019ll go first 15\/10 (fire and sweating face emoji). Not bad for nearly 40 (eyes emoji).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018The Blonde Bomber\u2019 also shared an update that the bout billed \u2018Destiny In The Desert\u2019 will move to Manchester due to the unrest in the Middle East. But the venue change also allows for the fight in Hatton\u2019s memory to be brought to his hometown.<\/p>\n

Hatton was scheduled to face Al Dah in February, but Brook stepped in after the tragic death of The Hitman. And speaking to Daily Star Sport at the media day, Brook admitted he questioned his decision.<\/p>\n

He said: “After that much time out, getting back in the gym with lads 20 years younger than me and trying to keep up, I was thinking, what have I got myself into here? I did this for years.<\/p>\n

“But I stuck with it. It\u2019s one day at a time. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and now everything\u2019s coming together. The fitness is there, I\u2019m in great shape, I\u2019m healthy.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m actually beating the alarm clock now, eager to get to the gym. At the start, I wanted to turn my back on it, but I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t. It\u2019s hard, but you\u2019ve got to persist and keep going.”<\/p>\n

He added: “It means the world to me that I got the call to step in for Ricky. I understand what we\u2019re all going through and what this fight represents. For me, this is for people who are struggling.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve struggled myself – with depression, addiction, mental health – and it\u2019s important to say that it\u2019s OK not to be OK, and that it\u2019s OK to reach out.”<\/p>\n

However, it might not be the last time we see Brook in a ring, as he refused to rule out a longer comeback.<\/p>\n

“You never know. It\u2019s one fight at a time. But my joy is back, and you never know \u2013 those big fights might still be there.<\/p>\n

“I left the sport with a tremendous win against Amir Khan. I\u2019m one of the top boys in British boxing, and if things go well, we\u2019ll see what happens.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kell Brook\u2019s Ricky Hatton tribute fight has been moved to a new date in a poignant venue as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":486159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,58520,22430,827,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-486158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ebanie-bridges","tag-kelly-brook","tag-ricky-hatton","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=486158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
