Kell Brook: record, next fight and profile →
Kell Brook and Kevin Bizier easily made weight ahead of their welterweight title fight Saturday evening at Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England. Both boxers were well within the 147-pound welterweight limit. Sheffield's own Brook tipped the scales at a ripped 146.4 lbs., while Bizier - who hails from Quebec, Canada - weighed in at a finely tuned 146.2 lbs.
Brook has already defended the title against one Canadian mandatory challenger in Jo Jo Dan a year ago in the Steel City, and now meets Bizier, who would become Quebec City’s first World champion with victory.
The Sheffield star landed the title as mandatory challenger himself, putting in a career best performance in ripping the belt from Shawn Porter in California in August 2014.
Kell Brook says he knows that mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier will be desperate to get his hands on his IBF World Welterweight title when they meet at the Sheffield Arena on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports.

For years Floyd Mayweather Jr. ruled the welterweight division and defeated all comers.
