After injured IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook was seen on Saturday night in Sheffield, clapping, cheering and allegedly raising his arms aloft ringside on the Eubank/Jeter card he was meant to be headlining, it only further stoked the fire of doubters claiming the rib injury that caused him to pull from his headline fight with Diego Chaves isn’t 100% genuine.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has been quick to shoot-down various whispers of Brook being off target with his weight, or unable to shift enough tickets to justify his PPV wages on a non-PPV broadcast; a miserable card that finally ended in loud jeering and booing on Saturday night, and really all but fell apart the moment Klitschko/Fury pulled out of ‘carrying it’ on a televised split anyway.

It’s not exactly of ‘did aliens land at Roswell?’ or ‘who shot JFK?’ proportions, yet a persistent conspiracy theory has surrounded IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook’s rib ‘injury,’ an injury that postponed tonight’s scheduled clash with Argentina’s Diego Chaves.

Make no mistake about it, 39 year old American fringe middleweight Tony Jeter, is being brought in as cannon-fodder when he fights Chris Eubank Jr on Saturday night in Sheffield, but claims that the young contender’s handlers at Matchroom have made a big mistake in overlooking him.

Jeter comes in sporting a modest (20-4-1, 14ko) record that includes a good deal of limited opposition [his last two opponents have 30 losses between them], yet says he has been in a similar position to this fight before; in 2012 when he was brought in as the ‘opponent’ for countryman Jimmy Lange (then 38-4-2); who, like Eubank, had already announced his next fight.

They call him ‘Britain’s Worst Boxer,’ though it’s a tag that Crawley-born ‘Rockin’ Robin Deakin has shrewdly used to his advantage, and one he is seeking to turn around good and proper in 2016.

All Robin Deakin’s life he has been a fighter, born with the crippling condition Talipes in 1986, his parents were told by doctors he may never walk again, so to even become a professional prize-fighter twenty years later was the overcoming of what many would see as an insurmountable obstacle all on it’s own.
