Peter Fury, uncle and head trainer of WBO/IBO/WBA heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, believes IBF welterweight king Kell Brook (36-0, 25KOs) made the right decision in moving forward with a dangerous fight against Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs).

Brook will head north by thirteen pounds to challenge Golovkin for the IBF/IBO/WBC/WBA middleweight titles on September 10th at the O2 Arena in London. Back in May, another British fighter made a similar leap when Amir Khan moved up by eight pounds to challenge Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez at 155-pounds. Khan was viciously knocked out in the sixth round. 

Many experts believe Brook will suffer similar fate with Golovkin, who knocked out his last 22 opponents.

Peter Fury sees nothing wrong with the contest, because Brook is being paid very well and nearly everyone expects him to lose - which creates a win-win situation for the Sheffield boxer.

"I just think that it's a fight that needed to be taken. I wouldn't say that it's a similar fight, but it's a similar situation like you had with Khan-Canelo - nothing to lose. Kell Brook has got absolutely nothing to lose and a nice payday, and everything to win. It's a win-win situation and it was a win-win for Khan," Peter told BaylorIC TV Boxing Channel.

"They are expected to lose, they are getting nice paydays, and there is always the chance of an upset. I had Khan clearly outboxing Canelo, I don't know how the judges had it the other way. He came around to his left, and this is what I mean about quality operators - he made one mistake and he paid. That's why these guys are where they are."

Golovkin will take one of two approaches with Brook, says Fury. If Golovkin views Brook as a dangerous opponent, he will apply a very calculated strategy like he did against David Lemieux and Curtis Stevens. But if he feels Brook's punches and walks right through them, he might decide to play to the crowd like he did against Willie Monroe - when he let his guard down and allowed Monroe to punch him.

"Golovkin has dynamite in his hands. When Golovkin sees power and danger in front of him, he becomes a very slick, calculated operator, clever mover, boxer. If he gets in the ring with a guy with mediocre power, he'll please the crowd by putting his hands down, let him punch you in the face and starts trading. This is the level that Golovkin is on. It's going to take a very special talent to get Golovkin out of there," Peter Fury said.
