Jurgen Klopp Has Absolutely No Idea Who Kell Brook or Gennady Golovkin Are

Jurgen Klopp Has Absolutely No Idea Who Kell Brook or Gennady Golovkin Are

Saturday night will see Gennady Golovkin and Kell Brook face off in one of the biggest British boxing fights in years at the o2 Arena in London - but one man who won't be watching is Jurgen Klopp.

The Liverpool manager is currently preparing his side for the return of Premier League football this weekend, with Leicester City visiting Anfield in a mouthwatering clash.

The Reds have collected just four points from a possible nine so far this season, so you can understand Klopp having matters other than boxing on his mind.

But, still, you'd expect a sports fanatic like Klopp to have his finger on the pulse to some extent, right? Well, no.

In fact, the German coach has absolutely no idea who Golovkin or Brook are.

Speaking in his weekly press conference, via the Mirror, Klopp was question on who he thought would come out on top between the two undefeated fighters and his response was short and sweet: "My father woke me up, with Cassius Clay, I think. But I would never get up any more for a fight"

"I'm obviously not a boxing fan because, who?!"

So, there you have it. Sorry, Kell - maybe if things go well, Klopp will be knowing a lot more about you come Sunday morning.
