Brilliant Brook Wins Again

Sheffield boxer Kell Brook had a comfortable win in his IBF world welterweight boxing title defence at the Motorpoint Arena last night. He stopped Romania's Jo Jo Dan in four rounds in his first fight since suffering life threatening injuries after being stabbed in the leg. "It was truly amazing to walk out in front of all my fans," said Brook. "I didn’t think I would ever box again but here I am filling arenas. I can’t put into words what it means to be back defending my World title.

"It was hard today holding it together. I felt this is where I belong. I am sorry I have kept you waiting but I hope you have had a good night. I am back baby.

"What a heart. I caught him with some good clean shots n he kept getting back up. He’s never been stopped and he’s a legitimate World title contender that has never been stopped and I have just taken him out in style.

"You see little bits of greatness but much more to come from me and I will be back out in June in a massive fight.

"Amir Khan, Juan Manuel Marquez, Brandon Rios – those are the sort of names I want. Bring them on. I want to entertain the fans and want them to tell me who they want to see me fight – I think the answer is Amir Khan, and if he’s watching – let’s do it, come and fight me.

"I didn’t think I would ever walk again never mind box again and here I am defending my world title in style. I have been given a second chance. The best is yet to come.”

Promoter Eddie Hearn told Hallam, "There is a little venue available on June 13 called Wembley Stadium. If Amir Khan is watching give everyone what they want. It is the biggest payday available and it’s for a World title."
