On Wednesday the Blades-fan will confirm at a press conference that he is taking on unbeaten American southpaw Errol Spence Junior at the stadium on May 27. Both boxers will be at the Lane. It will be Kell’s first fight since breaking a bone above his eye, in his only career defeat, at middleweight to Gennady Golovkin.

Spence is confident he can beat Brook in his own back yard.

But Brook is on a mission to boil back down to 147lbs and defend the IBF welterweight belt he treasures.
