By Dominic Sauboorah: Unbeaten welterweight contender Kell Brook (28-0, 18 KO’s) gritted out a 12 round decision win against the tough Carson Jones (34-9-2, 24 KO’s) in a grueling affair last night at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, England. The first 5 rounds Brook dominated and landed some thudding shots, but Jones came back into the fight in the later rounds, landing tremendous body shots and some good shots to Brook’s chin.

A flat night for British Boxing
By Simon Hirst: Saturday 7th July 2012 was meant to be the night two British lions roared to success after proving their credentials and intentions to go on and challenge for world honours.

Kell Brook: I could be Britain’s next super star
By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten welterweight contender Kell Brook (27-0, 18 KO’s) fancies himself as the next star that’s coming out of the UK. It’s interesting that Brook sees himself in that role, because he’s still never faced anyone beyond C class opposition. Tomorrow night, Brook will be facing his first B level opponent in Carson Jones (34-8-2, 24 KO’s) at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire, UK. To be sure, this is a step up for Brook, but it’s hardly a step up to where Brook can call himself a star if he wins.
