I don't get it either. His mum and dad are white, his brothers and sisters are white. Confusing..
His real dad ****ed off before he was born. White mother, middle eastern father.
Quote:
“My biological father hasn’t been there for me,” Brook says, “but I’ve been lucky. I want people to understand who my step-dad is and how he has helped me from when I was a toddler. Maybe it’s got something to do with me and Lindsay [his girlfriend] about to have a baby but I feel ready to talk about my real dad – even if he’s not my biological father. I call Terry [Thompson] ‘dad’ because that’s how he has always been to me. Just like my mum, Julie. I’ve got a great family."
Brook pauses when asked about the father who apparently abandoned him. But there is no pain in his voice when he explains that: “He’s about but I don’t want to see him. He’s never been in boxing but, truthfully, since I’ve become a little more famous he’s wanted to get involved with me again. But I don’t know the man. Where was he when I needed him? And the fact is I’ve got a dad. It doesn’t make any difference that Terry’s got white skin. That’s the only difference between us. I love him just as much as I love my mum."
Hmm Mr Ehr says his dad is black while you say his middle eastern. Which one is it?!
This is nothing new. We get posts with pictures of ripped up boxers before their fights all the time. That said, I hope Brook wins and becomes a real force at 147.

If one of his grandparents are black, it is possible that the gene skipped a generation. Or his mum could have strayed away from the marriage at some point or he could be a child from a previous marriage. Either way, he isn't "white" in the traditional sense.
He's always in terrific shape. I hope he pulls it off.

According to him and his camp he wasn't in shape for the Carson Jones fight and that's why he's recently brought in a Strength and Conditioning coach.
Yea I heard about his new S&C. In the Carson Jones fight he was also dealing with a broken nose so Idk how much bland you can put on the camp leading up to the fight. When I said terrific shape I meant to say physique wise, I didn't really specify.
