Former Shoe Fitter Looks to Fill Kell Brook's Boots in the Ring

From Shoe Fitter to Boxer

Callum Simpson, a former clothes shop worker who used to fit Kell Brook's shoes, is now aiming to make a name for himself in the boxing world. The 27-year-old from Barnsley has come a long way since his days of catering to the former welterweight world champion.

Hard Work Pays Off

Despite his humble beginnings, Simpson has worked hard to pursue his boxing career. He put himself through college with a part-time job in a menswear shop where he would assist Kell Brook with his footwear needs. Now, Simpson is set to face British and Commonwealth champ Zak Chelli with Brook's support.

Behind the Glamour

Simpson's journey in boxing has been far from glamorous. He has balanced training, fighting, and working long hours to make ends meet. Despite the misconceptions about instant fame and fortune in the sport, Simpson emphasizes the dedication and sacrifices required to succeed.

Fashion and Boxing

While Simpson enjoys fashion and style, he doesn't let it overshadow his boxing career. His unique sense of style, including a memorable pink jacket, adds a touch of fun to his rigorous training routine. Simpson's focus remains on his boxing goals, even if it means sacrificing fashion choices in his hometown.
