003_Kell_Brook_vs_Shawn_PorterSheffield’s Kell Brook pull off a great victory over night in the USA when he captured the IBF world welterweight title after beating Shawn Porter over 12 rounds on point getting a majority decision 117-111, 116-112 and 114-114 in what was a close but hard fought fight with both men cut. Brook got cut by a head clash in the 2 round but kept his composure and heart to land one of the biggest prizes in boxing and in turn line up fights with the likes of Picquiao, Mayweather and Khan.

“You can tell how much it means to me by my reaction,” Brook told DAILY SPORT Boxing, who was cut over the left eye in the second round. “I’ve been dreaming about this moment since I was nine-years old. It’s unbelievable.

005_Kell_Brook_vs_Shawn_Porter“I was scrappy tonight, and not as slick as I wanted to be. But I’m the world champion now, baby. I was born to do this.

“I’m ready for a mega, mega fight next. I’ll take on Keith Thurman or Floyd Mayweather. Amir Khan should get in queue now. I’m the world champion now so they’re all going to want to fight me.”
