KELL BROOK is set for a massive homecoming bout in Sheffield in the coming months before cashing in on a £5m pay day next summer.
The welterweight star claimed the IBF crown in California at the weekend with a stunning points win over American favourite Shawn Porter.
Brook, 28, is now expected to make a voluntary defense in December or January in Sheffield.

Just a couple of weeks ago Khan mentioned that the only way he would fight Brook is if he had a title. Brook should tell Khan to prove himself and fight Alexander. Win that then we'll talk about facing him. Which I think he would lose against Alexander. Brook should pass over him and challenge someone else...like Bradley, Thurman, Pacquiao.
As I've said before this isn't high school, so this isn't the nerd's turn to ignore the hot chick. The fight started to make sense for both guys only now. Before that it was some unproven WW calling out Khan to make a name on his expense. The fight did nothing for Khan before Brook got the IBF belt.
Also it is quite naive to not know the genuine rivalry brewing since amateurs or the potential $ that would be made from it for both guys. The fight was always a great match up, but Brook only became relevant yesterday.
Bundu is not a bad fighter is he?
Admittedly I haven't seen the Gavin fight and I am shocked that Bundu beat him.
But if JMM/Thurman are willing to travel then that would be great. But I suppose the pot of gold is there for both Khan and Brook now - they don't want to **** it up.

if khan fights devon and beats him, do u really think he's going to give a **** about brook, seeing as it will open the door for the floyd fight
khan has two options for may, floyd and brook..provided he wins his next fight
common sense tells me he wud choose floyd
Bundu or Alexander would be a good pick for his first defence. Competitive fights that he should win against well-known opposition with good risk/reward.
comparing bundu to devon lol
devon is highly skilled, bundu is not
i think devon fight wud help him more than a bundu fight

Fluffer?
I wouldn't mind seeing Brooks Khan first with Thurman getting the winner.. As long as Thurman is in the mix I'm game!
:lol1: yeah thats the word...FLUFFER!!....Khan is a good fight too...but I think they're gonna feed him a can...I just have that feeling
here we go....VOLUNTARY defense means Joe Blow or Rod Salka will get a call for BUFF duty....you know, the chicks who keep the male **** stars hard during scene breaks :lol1:
Thurman is young unbeaten fighter with a buzz surrounding him.....why not fight and beat him to really solidify your spot?!?....the WW division is too stacked for Bundu type cats to be getting phone calls from world champs about title fights....sparring yes, but title fights?...nah

We don't know how good Brook is till he gets in with a boxer that can defend. Brooks quickness and skill (defensive & counter punch) was astonishing but against a wrecking ball.
Hold it, let me tell you. Brook is not a guy that comes forward so he easily plays into the hands of a craftsman like Juan Manuel Marquez, Floyd Joy, Khan and other stylistic Animals. Not to say he can't beat some but he'll hav a much harder time than the Porter battle.
How about Thurman go out and beat an actual WW in his prime to EARN his title shot? Why does he get to jump to front and get Brook when he wants?
This. I like Thurman but he hasn't beaten anyone.
Go fight Devon Alexander or something.
I guess khan should do the same ha?
khan tried to make fights with mayweather, pacquiao, bradley, marquez, broner but they all ducked him. he cant force these guys to fight him can he? lol
