Kell Brook will make the first defense of his Welterweight title on March 28 at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield.
The Sheffield star ripped the belt away from Shawn Porter in Los Angeles in August with a career-best performance and will make his hotly anticipated first defense against an opponent to be named at a press conference on Thursday.
Brook is returning following an incident in which he was stabbed in his leg, putting a quick halt to all of the momentum that Brook had gained from that win over Porter. It’s unknown who Brook will be facing, but it isn’t expecting to be an A-list opponent. Hopefully after this return fight is out of the way though, Brook will be positioned for a big clash this summer.
Tickets will go on sale to Matchroom Fight Pass members at midday on Thursday from www.matchroomboxing.com. Tickets go on general sale at midday the following day at www.motorpointarenasheffield.co.uk.
