Kell Brook is all set to defend his International Boxing Federation (IBF) welterweight title against mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier on March 26 and it will take place in Sheffield, England.
Terms of the upcoming fight have been finalized and it seems that both camps are happy on how everything turned out. Such was reported on BoxingScene.com recently, with Bizier's promoter prepared to set foot in England and come home with the welterweight title in hand.
But all that can happen if he can waylay Brook who will be fighting again after a long while. The Briton last fought in May 2015 when he stopped Frankie Gavin in the sixth round. There were plans for him to face Diego Chaves last October but Brook was forced to beg off on account of a shoulder injury.
On the other end, Bizier last took the ring against Fredrick Lawson whom he forced to retire after 10 rounds back in November 2015. That bout was eventually deemed an eliminator match and paved the way for the upcoming tiff which will be aired live on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom. It remains to be seen if Showtime will pick up the TV rights for the fight.
After that fight, it will be interesting to see if Brook will go after Amir Khan next. After being shunned twice already, Khan seems to have had a change of heart as he could possibly face his countryman this coming June at Wembley.
That could all depend, however, on what is in store for Khan.
A report from the Daily Mail bares that Khan has been made the mandatory challenger for the World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight title where he would eventually face the winner of the Danny Garcia vs. Robert Guerrero match happening this Saturday.
Of the two, Khan does have a score to settle with Garcia, who dealt him a loss back in 2012.
