Anthony Ogogo has suffered a broken rib just days before
AEW Double Or Nothing – but he’ll still be facing Cody Rhodes on Sunday night.
The
former Olympic boxer is poised for a first major wrestling match at the pay-per-view event and he has revealed the very real risks after getting hurt practicing a standing elbow drop during training this week.
Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk, he said: ‘I’m sitting here now – I’m very, very open and honest, probably too open and honest… But I am who I am, I do what I do. I’ve got a broken rib right now.
‘My rib’s broken because I did a move in training this week. I did it wrong, and I broke a rib. I’m now wrestling Cody, the best wrestler in the world, with a broken rib… And that’s real, that’s not me just saying that. My rib is f***ed
