Birmingham super-flyweight Kal Yafai has revealed the extent of a “potentially career-threatening” bicep injury ahead of his October 26 return at Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena.
The 24-year-old tore his left bicep during an eight-round decision over Michael Ramabaletsa in March, and suffered nine months on the sidelines as a consequence.
Understandably, Yafai is just happy to be fighting again. “In many cases that kind of injury is potentially career-threatening,” he said.
“I was told by the doctors that because I’m young and healthy I would be less at risk, but a lot of older fighters would have retired after similar injuries. We only had a two-week window to complete the surgery but it went smoothly and the surgeon assured me I’d be back fighting again by October – which I am.” [Click Here To Read More]
