IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) is only a few days away from his mandatory defense against Errol Spence (21-0, 18 KOs).
The contest takes place on Saturday night, at Bramall Lane -- home of Sheffield United Football Club. Sky Sports Box Office and Showtime will carry the fight.
Brook is coming back for the first time since last September's TKO defeat at the O2 Arena in London, where the Sheffield fighter moved up by two full weight divisions to face IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin. Brook was stopped in five rounds and suffered a fractured orbital bone.
Brook feels that his camp has been strong and says he won't be bothered by anything that Spence will bring.
After losing to Golovkin, most expected Brook to drop down to junior middleweight - but he refused to drop his belt by avoiding the mandatory defense against Spence.
"I've had great sparring partners, I've been cycling many miles around Fuerteventura and I've put myself through it," Brook told Nick Parkinson. "I've put myself in places I don't really want to be. I went on a diet early on and I've driven myself into the ground to make sure I'm on point. I've signed to make welterweight and there's no point in crying about it. You have seen the shape I'm in, I've done it.
"No one thought I would come back to welterweight and fight my mandatory challenger and I've shocked everyone again after stepping up two divisions to fight Golovkin. It proves that I don't duck anyone."
Brook doesn't believe his size will be the difference. He views experience as being the biggest factor in the fight. Brook admits that it won't be easy, but he's confident in his ability to beat Spence.
"Experience will be key in the fight and I have more of it," Brook added. "I've been challenger and been to the champion's backyard and won the title when I beat Porter [in California] a few years ago.
"I've been in big fights at welterweight and middleweight where people have written me off. I know what to expect where as he has got things going through his mind like the last time he came to England and lost in the Olympics. I'm in a better place than he is. We will find out all about him on May 27. I believe it will be one of my toughest fights, but he's not been in with anyone like me. It will definitely be up there as one of my best wins."
