Bradley fought with a fractured foot and twisted ankle!

As you all know, On Saturday (June 9th) Timothy Bradley became the new WBO welterweight champion of the world by winning a controversial split decision over Manny Pacquiao. A lot of fans were very angry about the decision but nobody blamed Tim Bradley. And, to make the achievement even better for 'Dessert Storm' it has been revealed that he fought most of the fight with a fractured foot and twisted ankle.

The 28-year old was taken to hospital after the fight and his manager Cameron Dunkin revealed on Sunday that he had a swollen, twisted right ankle and his left foot was fractured.

Bradley arrived at the post-fight press conference in a wheelchair and explained to the press that he had stepped on referee Robert Byrd's foot in the second round and "felt a pop." If this is true and Bradley really did fight nearly of the bout with these injuries then it is a remarkable achievement. Even to last 12 rounds with 'Pacman' under these circumstances is extraordinary.

"I went back to my corner and said I think I've broken my foot," told Bradley. His trainer Joel Diaz said it up was up to him; he could either quit or carry on in the biggest of his career.

Bradley decided to carry on and the decision obviously paid off. He is now a two-weight world champion and still undefeated in 29 fights. He also has a win over one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Pacquiao Vs Bradley Final Press Conference: Full Coverage

Yesterday (June 6th) Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley met once again for the final press conference for their highly anticipated superfight on June 9th. Both men seemed very relaxed and showcased a calm confidence. 

It was the trainers that were first to step up and talk but the usually animated Joel Diaz and Freddie Roach didn't have much to say. Diaz claimed that Bradley "is 100% ready" and that his fighter is going to cause the "upset of the decade."

Roach said: "It's gonna be great fighting an undefeated, resilient guy." He also explained that Pacquiao may still have some distractions but they have managed to get rid of a lot of them: "We got rid of a lot of distractions. We got some new distractions that are much better." These new distractions are Pacquiao's "spiritual awakening" and bible study instead of his old distractions such as gambling and bizarre night life.

Bob Arum was next to talk on the microphone. He started of with his usual bigging-up of his star fight Manny Pacquiao. Comparing him to Muhammad Ali because of the impact he has had on the sport. But, he also showed a lot of respect to Bradley, which is unusual for Arum.

"I knew he was something special in the ring, but I didn't realise what a wonderful young man he was... If all athletes could be like him, the sport of boxing would really be on the pinnacle of everybody's attention," said Arum.

Both of the fighters were careful and calm with their words but still showed that are very confident going into the fight on Saturday. Bradley said: "Training camp was hell. I've never trained this hard. I'll do whatever it takes to win this fight." He then shook Pacquiao's hand and thanked him for the opportunity. However, 'Dessert Storm' did have one trick to pull. He presented an oversized novelty ticket and poster for a rematch that will happen on November 10th if Bradley wins on Saturday. 

Pacquiao also claimed that he was training harder than ever before for this fight: "I keep pushing, pushing, more rounds. Because I know Bradley is hungry and inspired to train hard... I'm pretty sure that on Saturday we can give a good fight. It will be a good fight. I will fight a good fight."

Below are some pictures from the press conference:

Kell Brook & Carson Jones head-to-head at press conference (Video)

Here is exclusive footage of an aggressive head-to-head between Kell Brook & Carson Jones at today's press conference...


Video by iFilm London.

Things got heated at today's press conference to promote the July 7th clash between Kell Brook and Carson Jones. The two squared up for the usual face-off you see at pressers but Jones then decided to go a little over the top and pushed his head into Brook's. The Sheffield star didn't retaliate but you could tell he was a little frustrated and maybe a little scared.

The two men were separated by Brook's promoter Eddie Hearn but a few moments later came together again and this time the stare-off lasted a little longer. Jones continued to press his face into Brook's which forced Eddie Hearn to have to step in again.

Brook is not really used to this type of thing, and from that point on he looked a little weary of his opponent. Maybe Jones' game plan will be to play mind games with Kell Brook and by the looks of it, they may even work.
