IBF Welterweight World Champion Kell Brook and undefeated rising star Errol Spence face off this Saturday live on SHOWTIME (5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT) in the latest in a series of significant welterweight matchups between the best fighters in one of boxing’s deepest divisions.
By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook has full confidence that his surgically repaired right eye will not be an issue for him this Saturday night when he gets inside the ring with Errol Spence Jr. in their long awaited fight at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. Brook has had eye surgery to repair a broken right eye socket that he ended up with in his last fight against Gennady Golovkin.
By David Alexander: The 27-year-old mandatory challenger Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) has been hailed as one of the hottest talents in America ahead of his first world title fight against Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) at Bramall Lane, United Kingdom on Saturday.

Abel Sanchez, the trainer for Gennady “GGG” Golovkin, says one of the main reasons his fighter was able to get the better of Brook in their fight on September 10 last year was because Brook made the mistake of standing in front of GGG and trying to fight with him instead of boxing and moving.
