Kell Brook Set For Title Defence
British star Kell Brook is preparing to defend his IBF world welterweight title once again after agreeing to take on Diego Chaves in his hometown of Sheffield.
åÊ
The 29-year-old puts his title on the line for a third time after beating Frankie Gavin back in May but will face a tough opponent in Chaves on 24 October.
åÊ
His next opponent hails from Argentina and has won 23 of his 26 professional fights.åÊ The South American, who is the same age as Brook, will go head-to-head with the Brit at the Motorpoint Arena according to the BBC.
åÊ
Brook has yet to taste defeat in his career and will be looking for win number 36 in as many fights.åÊ Victory against Chaves would no doubt increase the calls for a fight against Amir Kahn, who until now has been confident of securing a fight against Floyd Mayweather.

With a fight against the American unlikely to transpire, the British public may soon get to see the two battle it out in the middle of the ring.
