Comments Thread For: Kell Brook is Pumped About First Defense in Sheffield

[diarraisagod]

I'm telling you right now that there is no way Eddie Hearn is paying JMM to come over here, he won't, when he can pay Bundu a quarter of the amount.

and sell a fraction of the tickets... and probably only have a sky sports calibre fight instead of PPV. Bundu is hardly the high profile opponent Hearn has been saying he wants.

Hearns not going to do anything for Khan because he doesn't promote him.

It could be like how he has set-up the Cleverly-Bellew rematch, with a doubleheader. Matchroom and GBP have a history of working together, Ogogo is a GBP fighter who has appeared several times on Matchroom shows. I see no reason if you're trying to make a fight as big as Groves-Froch 2, which Khan-Brook could be why you wouldn't try and work things out.

I'm not saying any of this is likely, all I'm saying is that none of the problems are insurmountable. Hearns could make a sick show late in the year that promotes a huge summer fight, of course being boxing it'll probably land up being path of least resistance. But, I don't see too many big names that Hearn has said he wants for Brook's homecoming that wouldn't pose a significant risk and cost.

Oh he can make Brook-Khan.

But he's never going to get Amir Khan on his undercard. It's next to impossible.

The guy just won a belt and he have his share of haters already hahahaha

I hope he fights someone like Rios or something and then he fights Khan in April and make that British mega fight.

I ain't hating on Brook but there isn't a chance he faces anyone good in December. Hearn doesn't want that Wembley fight being spoiled.

And what is wrong with that? As long as he doesn't fight bums for years and Ok for him to take a soft touch for his first defense and then get Khan in a mega fight!

Both brook and khan are losing in december

Hes been fighting bums for years. Finally got a belt and now ya want him to fight bums again? For what a supposed mega fight with glass chin khan? Id rather see him fight jmm, rios or thurman.

JUST Put Khan Against Brook In December! Why Not?!!?

Khan isn't going to fight anyone credible. Just as well line him up now, knock him out in 3, and move on. I could see Brook fighting a Thurman or Guerrero in December, but both those guys are waaaaaay tougher than Khan? Who would Khan have the ballz to fight? Rod Salka??? There's no reason to wait until next Spring for Brook-Khan to happen unless they are just creating anticipation from the UK faithful. It's a sellout fight if they announced it now for December or if they wait until May '15! Khan is no challenge; Brook will blow thru this fool.

Newly crowned IBF world welterweight champion Kell Brook is relishing the chance to defend the title in his home city of Sheffield.

Brook took the title from Shawn Porter in California last weekend with a stunning points win on enemy turf, and the unbeaten star is set to defend the belt for the first time in the Steel City, with December 6 the likely date.

The 28-year-old met the city's Lord Mayor before greeting a packed crowd of supporters at The Winter Gardens as he received a hero's welcome, and he told them that their support was crucial in driving him to victory in the States.
