Oklahoma City, OK (March 19, 2012) ? USBA Welterweight champion and IBF #3 rated ?Kid? Carson Jones has made a career out of shattering his opponents? dreams.
The 25-year-old Oklahoman has impressive wins over knockout artist Tyrone Brunson, 2000 Olympic Silver Medalist Ricardo Williams, world rated Said Ouali and title contender Michael Clark, but recognizes that there are plenty of fish to fry.
Enter brash Brit Kell Brook. Like Jones, Brook is a rising star who?s rated highly by the IBF. With a dynamic personality backed by an outstanding record of 27-0 with 18 wins by knockout, the Sheffield native?s widely regarded as the second coming of Naseem Hamed. Although he continues to improve with each performance and is fresh off a dominant victory over Matthew Hatton, many would argue that Brook is yet to challenge a legitimate contender; such as Carson Jones.
?Kell Brook thinks he?s more than what he is at this point,? said Jones, who has a 33-8-2 record with 23 KO?s and went from being regarded as an opponent to a top-tier contender. ?He?s calling out Amir Khan but hasn?t earned the right to do. Beating Matthew Hatton doesn?t give him that luxury and we all saw what Saul Alvarez did to Hatton. Brook is decent but I?ve beaten better fighters and I?d gladly go to England to fight him!?
Jones manager Bobby Dobbs also sees no issue with his fighter once again entering enemy territory en-route to a world title shot.
?Carson Jones is willing to do whatever it takes to become champion,? said Dobbs. He has fought all comers since day one and if he has to go to England to knockout Kell Brook, then that is what we will do!?
