In just 3 weeks time the Sheffield sensation that is Kell Brook gets his long awaited crack at a world title when he steps into the ring in the Motor City to face IBF world welterweight champion Devon Alexander. Brook has waited a long time for this and will be hoping he can topple “The Great” and bring the title back to the Steel City where some great fight ahead will be staged if he can be victorious.
With both guys now rearing to get it on here is what they had to say to the nation’s favourite DAILY SPORT
“2013 is going to be a big year for my career and I’m going to get it started right in an exciting fashion against Kell Brook,” said Alexander. “I worked extremely hard to win my title and I’m not giving it away to anyone. This will be a statement-making fight for me.”
“This is the biggest night of my life,” said Brook. “When I turned up at the Wincobank Gym in Sheffield as a nine year old, this was what I dreamed about – boxing for a world title and on February 23, I’ll turn that dream into a reality. I’m in the best physical shape of my life and the best ever Kell Brook will be in the ring in Detroit and there’s no way that I am coming home without that world title. This is my destiny, it’s just meant to be and there’s nothing Devon Alexander can do to stop me.”
