Kell Brook new opponent for the 13th?

[Grays_Dan]

I've just been browsing Paddy Power and it says that Kell Brook is fighting Michael Jennings on the Wembley card.

Is this true

No. The opponent is Bienias. I understand Mike's picked up a hand injury.

Good operator on a long running win with good away wins against Sven Paris in Italy - so it's a massive step up for Kell. Totally different class of opponent to what Kell has boxed before and I hear that Kell is training mega hard to reflect how seriously he's taking this one.

Bienas must be handy coz he's actually got the WBO #4 ranking, i believe, and the winner is looking at a final eliminator for a title shot.

All of us who've been waiting for Kell's stamina and chin to be truly tested in a fight will get their way come Feb 13th

I thought Bienas was KO'd in a round by Witter ?

no, it was stopped in second because of cuts

however, junior did bash him up. at the time though junior was undeniably one the very best 10st fighters in the world and absolutely flying, smashing everyone in sight

since then the polish kid has been on a long winning run and obviously improved significantly
