Former IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (38-2, 26 KOs) will be aiming to shake off the ring rust and fire his name back into the mix for a word title shot in 2020 when he meets Mark DeLuca (24-1, 13 KOs) on Saturday night in Sheffield.
DeLuca, who is from Massachusetts and has a record of 24-1 with 13 KOs, is fighting Brook for the vacant WBO Inter-Continental super welterweight title.
He called the contest a "make or break" encounter for both of their careers.
DeLuca expects to face the same Brook who was world champion several years ago. Brook lost the title in 2017, when he was stopped by Errol Spence.
"He's trying to get back to where he once was. That's a hunger that I think is still in him. He has to get by me in order to do that. I'm not listening to the naysayers, I think I'm getting a really dangerous and strong Kell Brook.
"There's no quit in Kell. His two defeats were against two boogeymen in the division that nobody wanted to fight, Triple G and Errol Spence. He was the only man to step up and face that challenge. He's a game guy."
