Always entertaining and has so much left to show i feel. Look forward to seeing Kell go beyond Commonwealth etc....

Alfonso Gomez would be a good test at this stage in his career! Bailey is a good shout as is Lovemore N'Dou. He does need to be stepped up but I think he can make the jump to world level

Kell needs a test in his next fight.

Someone proven that he can outclass and then show he is really on the scene.

End of this year beginning of next for a World Title shot after he wins on 25th June

He has the skills and the power to do it

He needs to step up so I'm not sure why people are getting so excited about Lovemore N'Dou.

How competitive do you think he'd be over here against a young, heavy hitting guy with ambition? How long is it since he lost to Witter? 5/6 years?

The other names - Gomez, Clottey, Corley - would be decent names on his CV..here's hoping he gets 2/3 tests before the year is out before stepping up.

Eddie knows Kell needs his profile raising, so I think he'll pay the moula to bring over a fairly decent name to Sheffield (a Corley/Clottey type)

Good choice of opponent.

It's a step up in class for Kell and the fight will give him a familioar yardstick to be judged against. Kell's not only got to win he's got to look good doing it, I reckon he stops the rock solid Lovemore.

Kell is a BAD BAD man, who's going to lead Britains charge for it's next wave of World titles.

COME ON KELL!!

Ndou is definitly a step in the right direction,if Kell can stop him&look good doing so thats a good statement

Excellent match up - A lot of people like me have been waiting to see Brook make his move, and this is it.

Be shocked and pleasantly surprised if Brook can stop Ndou. A wide points decision would be impressive. But a stoppage would really mark Brook out as a blue chip prospect. Ndou has been in with some of hitters out there like Cotto and Cintron and even they couldn't stop him.

Well done Matchroom on getting Kell a good test!

I would say on a par with the Jennings fight - certainly acceptable. Ndou was one of the poorest world champions in history and he now an old man and not at his correct weight. He was fortunate to draw with Matthew Hatton a couple of years back, Hatton has improved since then, Ndou has gone back.

Its still a very acceptable fight though, more of the same please Matchroom..... also I feel Barker vs Spada is acceptable - again, nice one Matchroom.

I fancy Brook to end this within 6

Spada a good opponent for Barker especially after a year out. Ndou is durable which is what kell needs rounds.

Good matchup and a step in the right direction, but he wont be able to stop him, i expect a reasonably wide points win.

That would be impressive - he's a tough old mofo.

A dull Brook win on points would not be satisfactory tbh, as I said I don't see N'Dou coming here with any ambition. Why would he?

A devastating stoppage would be impressive, but one thing about N'Dou is he's durable.

I see this being a bit like Ricky Hatton v Ray Oliveira..

A big win here and then bigger names is what he needs. It is 6 years since Junior Witter beat N'Dou and he has gone backwards since then.

Yes agree, its an acceptable match up. On a par with Jennings, maybe not quite as good on paper. Should get him some rounds and experience - but its no acid test. It was an acid test for Matthew Hatton a couple of years ago - but this was a fighter who had lost to Craig Watson and Alan Bosworth.

He is, he's never been stopped, but I think Brook's well capable of doing it, and should be looking to make a statement.

A points win over a 39 year old N'dou isn't that much of a statement.

He went 12 rounds with ALvarez he not shot.

Love this fight, N'Dou is rock solid and almost guarantees Kell the chance to get 12 rounds under his belt which is important as he steps into world class. Also gives him chance to show the world his array of boxing skills, not just his speed and power. I think you'll see evidence of one of the best jabs in british boxing, classy defence and good stamina.

I also agree that if Kell CAN stop this kid then it will be a massive statement as Alvarez, a much hyped kid who is probably naturally bigger than Kell, couldnt work the trick. My money is on Kell winning a fairly wide UD and in the process showing the fans that he's got all the tools to step up.

N'Dou comes to fight and so unlike certain other opponents Kell wont have to go looking for him. A really good test and one i'm looknig forward to already.

So chuffed it's in Sheffield, and one of the possible venues - Hillsbro Leisure Centre - is about 100 yards from Kell's home. Great chance for Kell to finally build a following. TOP MARKS to Matchroom - good opponent and topping the bill at home in their first fight. Shows everyone why Kell felt that this would be a good move.

I say put him in deep get him spanked, then he might go away and learn soem boxing fundamentals.

. Interesting, what boxing fundamentals would you pass on to the lad? (He reads this site avidly so I'm sure he'll be curious)
