Errol Spence’s trainer Derrick James says Kell Brook will be the first REAL opponent that Terence Crawford will have faced during his career if he chooses to face him next.
Kell Brook made a statement last weekend with his stoppage win over Mark DeLuca: one that said ‘I’m back.’ Now having the hunger back, the former IBF welterweight champ is looking at becoming a two-weight champion.
Kell Brook (39-2, 27 KOs) came back from a 14 month layoff to conquer Mark DeLuca (24-2, 13 KOs) in a 7th round KO on Saturday night at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England.
Kell Brook returned from a 14 month hiatus from the ring to stop Mark DeLuca in seven rounds at the FlyDSA Arena in Sheffield, live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US.
Kell Brook (39-2, 27 KOs) looked as good as new on Saturday night in returning from a 14 month layoff to crush his over-matched opponent Mark DeLuca (24-2, 13 KOs) in stopping him in the 7th round at the FlyDSA Arena in Sheffield, England.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn views his fighter Kell Brook (38-2, 26 KOs) as the “forgotten man”, and he wants to him prove that he’s still relevant when he steps into the ring to fight Mark DeLuca (24-1, 13 KOs) this Saturday night at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, UK.

Kell Brook has admitted that nothing less than a “spectacular” win over Mark DeLuca at the FlyDSA Arena in Sheffield this Saturday will suffice as he looks to regain the attention of the World Champions at 147lbs and 154lbs after a lengthy hiatus from the ring.
Kell Brook wants three things. First up, as he explained when speaking with Sky Sports earlier today, he wants, in fact, needs, a “spectacular” performance on February 8, in his comeback fight with Mark DeLuca.
Kell Brook is back in tip-top physical shape (it certainly looks this way, judging by the photos that are currently available of the 33 year old) and he has a fresh goal: that of becoming a two-weight world champion.
