• Brook took another knee due to damage to his left eye in round eleven and the fight was waved off.
• Eddie Hearn later confirmed Brook was being treated in hospital for a fractured eye socket. Brook fractured his right eye socket in his previous bout against Gennady Golovkin, but it was his left eye socket which fractured in this bout.

Comments

• "He’s one of the best kids I’ve been in with, if not the best. I got caught in the seventh round in the left eye. The double vision just stuck. I live to fight another day but I’m gutted that, in front of my home fans, I’ve lost my belt." - Kell Brook
• "I give Kell all the credit, and the hardcore fans here. A true champion goes anywhere to fight. He has gone to America and fought so I came here. I didn't feel that sharp, but true champions still win. He was tired, fatigued but kept firing shots. The goal is to unify and become undisputed welterweight champion of the world." - Errol Spence
