By Scott Gilfoid: Instead of finally taking on a top contender in the welterweight division, number #2 ranked World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight contender Kell Brook (23-0, 16 KO’s) has decided to go soft by facing 39-year-old Lovemore N’dou (48-12-2, 31 KO’s) on June 25th.

Brook: Khan is killing himself to make 140
By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten welterweight contender Kell Brook (23-0, 16 KO’s) is eagerly waiting for WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (25-1, 17 KO’s) to finally move up in weight to the welterweight division so that he can get a crack at fighting Khan. Brook, 24, realizes that the 5’10” Khan will have to move up in weight sooner or later because he’s quickly out-growing the 140 pound limit at light welterweight. Brook can’t wait until Khan finally does move up, as he wants to face him and add his scalp to his resume.

Brook, who is currently ranked #2 by the WBO and one of the best fighters in the welterweight division, described Khan’s performance as “amateurish” against McCloskey and felt that boxing fans didn’t see a good fight. Brook thinks that Khan doesn’t want any part of fighting him.

Kell Brook targets Matthew Hatton
By Sean McDaniel: Ranked #1 by the WBC, unbeaten welterweight contender Kell Brook (23-0, 16 KO’s) is still trying to make a name for himself and get big fights in the welterweight division. Unfortunately, his chances of getting a title shot against WBO champ Manny Pacquiao are nonexistent and will likely remain that way for good.
