Kell Brook gets ready to go again on 3rd March at the Sheffield Arena and this time he has the prospect of the carrot Eddie Hearn is now dangling in front of him. The fight he seems to have wanted more than most is within touching distance now that Amir Khan has signed with Matchroom.
The first hurdle to get over is Siarhei Rabchanka (Sergey Rabchenko to most) which should be a fight that will allow Kell to chase away any demons that may be lingering from his last 2 fights against Gennady Golovkin and Errol Spence Jnr.
Losing to 2 genuine pound for pound elite fighters should not tarnish Kell?s record so far. Very few thought he stood a real chance of upsetting GGG and he fought gamely until Dominic Ingle rightly threw the towel in, possibly saving Brook?s career as the damage he was taking to his eye socket was only going to get worse. His second loss to Errol Spence Jnr did not prove that Kell was damaged goods but merely highlighted that Spence Jnr truly is special and will most probably go on to dominate for many years and will himself be a pound for pound contender. It was unfortunate that Kell would suffer another broken eye socket, albeit the opposite eye, and I don?t think anyone can blame him for taking a knee after what he learned from the previous injury.
