Kell Brook's next opponent has been confirmed..

[LacedUp]

More or less. It's going to be Lopez on September 21st in Sheffield. More news will follow either tomorrow or the day after.

Any thoughts on this? It's a decent fight IMO. I personally think Lopez will get spanked and they are using him to prove a point. They could have had Van Heerden over, but turned it down because they didn't think he could sell. Lopez is a bigger name.

Anyways, stay tuned for more..

lopez will kill hi

I think Lopez will knuckle down and get his act right this time round. He has incredible heart, just a shame he can't pull of a Ortiz against other 147's

[IronDanHamza]

Decent fight and a definite step up for Brook.

Lopez isn't very good so it's not great but a step in the right direction.

Certainly better than Mosley which is what I was expecting.

[Hougigo]

I thought he was fighting a name?

[dan_cov]

Decent step up but I ultimately expect Brook to stop him

[Hougigo]

They should have gotten Van Heerden to try and get Kell a "belt"
Van Heerden is probably going to be fighting in the states soon, so he'll garner some attention for the future... if he still has the belt

[Rahat]

Brook will get beaten trust me he really struggles with pressure fighters. Maidana will ko him hes a good boxer if he beats lopez he'll earn my respect hes a tough guy to beat had maidana hurt badly aswell and canelo was just too big for him.

[Russian Crushin]

What point does this prove, that he can beat a fringe contender? (hopefully)

[Kagami Taiga]

Hah! Too funny. But he supposedly can beat all these top fighters that he will never fight, rite?
