Mofo2 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Kell Brook will defend his IBF welterweight title against Errol Spence Junior in his comeback following his first career loss to Gennady Golovkin. Brook is stepping back down to 147lbs - against the advice of his promoter Eddie Hearn - after losing to Golovkin at middleweight in September to face mandatory challenger Spence. Spence, 27, is unbeaten with a perfect 21-0 record with 18 stoppages, but Brook is confident he can beat the American and keep alive the possibility of a showdown with domestic rival Amir Khan. Brook told Hearn he wants Spence next when they spoke on Friday and the Matchroom MD is close to making the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIM Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Nice, a lot of peeps were expecting Brook to toss his strap away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo2 Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Khan is expecting 70/30 split and Brook wont do them kind of numbers so he has pretty much moved on...Amir pricing himself out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo2 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Brook is after paydays so he will try to maximise his earning; tough fight but one he should win if coming down in weight doesnt drain him as he has always been pretty big for the division!
