Kell Brook retained his IBF world welterweight strap last night in Sheffiled by battering his mandatory challenger Candian Kevin Bizier in 2 rounds.
Brook was the stronger from the off catching the challenger with some big right hands in the opener, before giving him more of the same in the second.
With Bizier bleeding heavily and dropped , obnly to get caught by another big shot ref Howard Foster had seen enough and waved the bout off at 2.15 of the 2nd round.
A great victory for Brook who is now 36 fights unbeaten as a pro with 25 stoppages under his belt.
“I have power that can knock anyone out,” Brook told DAILY SPORT Boxing. “I want to train for a fight when I have a threat on my hands. I’d love the Danny Garcia fight, the Jesse Vargas fight, I’d take the Keith Thurman vs Shawn Porter winner, the Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao winner – I want them all.
“I want to thank all the fans, it’s been too long since I’ve been in Sheffield – there’s no me without those fans.
“I’ve been training a long, long, time, I’ve missed my daughters and weddings to get in the best shape ever. We’ve worked too hard to get this belt and I wasn’t going to slip up tonight.
“He couldn’t stand up to the power. I have got the mandatory out the way and now I want that massive fight.”
Promoter Eddie Hearn said that the task to land a major summer fight begins right away and with his mandatory obligations dealt with, Hearn says delivering a blockbuster fight for Brook is his priority.
“We had to fight Kevin Bizier, but it’s what he does to these fighters, he’s a beast,” said Hearn. “Kell needs to prove that he’s the best Welterweight in the world but no-one wants to fight Kell. I want to bring the big fights to Sheffield and we’ll be putting the money up to bring the best over here. There’s so many options for Kell and he wants to unify the division.”
