I hope it's against somebody good.

Probably against Jo Jo Dan.

Dan, most likely.

Get that mandatory out of the way as well as it being the first fight after the stabbing and then kick on with the big fights.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Interesting that they'd announce this before anything has been confirmed regarding Khan.

Most probably against Jo Jo Dan.

Is jo jo dan any good? fellas?

Don't they have to get the Dan mandatory out of the way before they can even consider Khan? Use the Dan fight in March to build up a possible Khan fight in June.

Cool, I can't wait to see him back in the ring again.

The Dan mandatory hasn't even been called yet. Is Brook really going to fight in March and then again in June? Seems ambitious.

Ambitious? I guess so. Sad, 2-3 months between fights used to be the norm. Dan at this stage is a fairly soft touch for someone like Brook, assuming he's fully recovered from his social mishap.
