Sheffield – are you ready?
Earlier this week, Tony Bellew said that Sheffield needed a new sporting hero and he believes Kell Brook is ready to be that hero.
He has already twice fought in Sheffield as world champion but this, at the home of his beloved Sheffield United, is bound to be special.
Victory is no certainty though. Plenty of people who know in boxing think Errol Spence Jr could be quite special and he is still unbeaten after 21 fights. Brook will have to work hard for this one.
There is also a tasty undercard including George Groves going for his first world title at the fourth attempt and Dave Allen, he of the pants antics yesterday, fighting for a Commonwealth heavyweight title – his biggest contest to date.
We’ll be here all night with updates from our man on the ground Chris McKenna who is on the Costa del Sheffield in the sun.
