When did Brodie announce he was coming out of retirement?

I've not heard an announcement but I do know that Brodie's going through a particularly unpleasant divorce, that he's not been best placed to handle his earnings throughout his career and that he's looking at a bank balance with fck all in it.

Absolute tragedy, that.

Well, at least its a sensiblish match up.

I'm not sure though if Kelley will fight at Super Feather again, all the noises he has been making in interviews is that he feels refreshed at Lightweight.

Quite a tough match to pick, both vulnerable, both on the slide.

I'd fear Kelley would finish Brodie in 4.

Kelley must be a shadow of his former self. I couldn't imagine him putting up the fight Brodie managed against Harrison.

It would be a good scrap but I think Brodie would stop Kelley late on

I really hope this isn't true.

Michael Brodie has a brilliant career record - just 3 (or shall we say 2) defeats and I think the Harrison fight was a nice hurrah as 'final' fights go.

He gave a good account of himself, nice scrap and got caught with a bodyshot. Plus, he didn't get badly hurt.

If money is low though, who can blame him. Hope he's doing OK, always came across as a very sound man.

Brodie was small at featherweight, what the heck would he be like at 130-135? Not a good move, if he has to come back for money reasons then surely 126 is the way forward? Or is he kidding himself that the Chi and Harrison defeats might have been due to weightmaking???

He should do what McCoulogh did and moved back down to 122. He could be a threat at that weight. Hes a name for a belt holder to have on their CV and if he wins hes got that title
