Comments Thread For: Hearn: Brook vs. Gavin is Looking Promising For 5/30

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

FRANKIE GAVIN is set for a dream shot at IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook on May 30.

Promoter Eddie Hearn – who represents both fighters – is ready to put the clash on a mammoth O2 Arena bill that also sees Brits Kevin Mitchell and Lee Selby in separate world title fights.

Gavin, 29, turned down an IBF eliminator against tough American Timothy Bradley in June as the possibility of taking on Brook in a voluntary clash became clear.

The Birmingham fighter moved into the eliminator position after Bolton’s Amir Khan turned down the chance of taking on Bradley.

Gavin was due to face South African bruiser Chris van Heerden on May 9 in his home city.

But now it seems he will be pulled from that card for a shot at Sheffield star Brook later in the month.

Hearn has been put in a tough position. He wanted to build up Gavin in Birmingham and then make the fight PPV at the end of the year. If Gavin fights Brook now and gets stopped like most people expect, it'll be tough to forge a new path for him.

Junior Witter is back now.. If we are lucky Eddie Hearn can entice him into a summer blockbuster vs Brook after this, Ingle gym domestic dust up, yes! Eddie knows how all us Brits love nothing more than a few pints, a domestic scrap on Sky PVV and then a nice curry - hopefully premier league darts will also be on that same week.
