Kell Brook wanted a showcase bout for his American debut, and he gave himself one with a one-sided fifth-round technical knockout over Luis Galarza.

British welterweight contender Kell Brook is appearing for the first time in the United States this Saturday. The undefeated 25-year-old with 25 wins and 17 knockouts will be facing Luis Galarza, who is 17-2 with 13 knockouts, on the undercard to Andre Ward vs. Carl Froch.

Exciting British welterweight Kell Brook is hoping to "razzle and dazzle" on his American debut tomorrow as he closes in on a world title shot.

By David P. Greisman - Andre Ward and Carl Froch both successfully made weight for their widely anticipated Super Six World Boxing Classic finale Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

British welterweight Kell Brook (25-0, 17KOs) will make his American debut on Saturday night on the Carl Froch-Andre Ward undercard at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. The opponent is Puerto Rican boxer Luis Galaza (17-2, 13KOs). Brook has always dreamed of fighting in America and now he wants to impress the local fans in order to build a following overseas.

Sheffield’s Kell Brook is just ten days away from making his first appearance on American soil when he fights Luis Galarza at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on the Ward v Froch Super-Six undercard.

Promoter Eddie Hearn is continuing to place pressure on Amir Khan (26-1, 18KOs) for a big domestic showdown with undefeated welterweight contender Kell Brook (25-0, 17KOs). Khan is planning to move up to the welterweight division in early 2012. He defends his IBF/WBA 140-pound titles against Lamont Peterson on December 10th.

Amir Khan should stop dreaming of a fight with Floyd Mayweather and fight a more realistic opponent in Kell Brook – That’s the view of Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn, who wants to see a welterweight showdown between the two in 2012.
