Kell Brook vs. Michael Zerafa - 8 December 2018

[bigjack]

Apparently it's Big Kev McIntyre. First fight was close so fair play him getting the rematch.

When did they fight?

They fought 10 years ago mate for the British title. Cracking fight, real war.

Just goes to show what a wasted career ha has had,British title win 10 years ago and still only one decent world title win.

[Ruthless-RKO]

He spent a bit of time defending the WBO regional belt. Then Khan told him to fight Tim Brad. Then he said he was already going down the IBF route.

Kell a lost soul now isn't he? No direction whatsoever. Khan can fornicate off mind, he's no better.

I know Sky will do their usual hype job and by the time fight night comes I will be reluctantly looking forward to it.

But this fight just comes across as too late, past their prime, and a bit desperate for both fighters. There isnt a world title on the line, they're not naturally the same weight anymore (if ever they were) and both have admitted their looking to retire soon.

Give me this fight X amount of years ago and I would be salivating.

Now I am not that interested at all.

Brooks reply to that was fuckin hilarious

Brooks reply to that was fuckin hilarious

After fighting Phil The Greek,anyone Brook fights would be an improvement.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Khan’s always attending to other things. Boxing isn’t the only thing in his life.



Khan has never been ringside to call anyone out tbh.

[Stuarty]

Brooks reply to that was fuckin hilarious

Yeah they're both being a pair of tits with the verbal ping pong aren't they! Just fight or piss off and shut up ffs!

[Ruthless-RKO]

Michael Zerafa it should be. Already said he will chase Khan after he beats Brook.

[jamamb]

yawn, way too many opponents like this in brooks career

[PredatorHayds]

I’m hearing a strong rumour he’s re-matching Michael Barrymore.

Pork-Samurai-Sword en all.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Brook once again fights at the Sheffield Arena and battles Australia's Zefara in a WBA world super-welterweight eliminator as he continues in pursuit of a long-awaited British showdown with rival Amir Khan.

With Dominic Ingle unable to be in his corner for this fight due to other commitments, Brook is currently training in Fuerteventura with ex-boxer and friend John Fewkes ahead of his big return.

Zerafa, 26, is a former Commonwealth super-welterweight champion and has secured 14 of his 25 wins via knockout. He has lost just two of his 27 professional fights and insists he will thrive off the underdog status on December 8.

Hearn said: "This is the biggest opportunity of Zerafa's career and he will be coming over here to take my scalp but there's levels in this game and I need to put him away to get the big fights that I desire.

"Meticulous work, dedication, preparation and focus has gone into this camp and I will continue to grin until fight week. I can't wait to see you all at Sheffield Arena on December 8 where I will shine bright under all of the lights!"

Zerafa said: "I thrive from being the underdog and I believe that Kell Brook's team have made the mistake of overlooking me. I'm a completely different fighter to the man that lost to Peter Quillin and on December 8 I will prove that."

[Ruthless-RKO]

From winning the WBC Silver belt, to now fighting a WBA eliminator.

A few more reactions.

[adamwillan]

Also funny is the bit saying Dom Ingle has other commitments... something more important than 'his' top fighter

[jamamb]

anyone know why carrolls opponent gave up the ebu title last year despite not moving up in weight or being inactive?

[MattCoke]

Spike just tweeted saying he is not on this card
