By Scott Gilfoid: IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn is working on putting together a unification fight between Brook and WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas (27-1, 10 KOs) for this summer. Hearn likes the idea of the soon to be 30-year-old Brook unifying the division one belt at a time.
Hearn would like to also match Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) against Tim Bradley, but he’s currently not available and the same with WBC champion Danny Garcia. Besides Vargas, #2 WBC Lamont Peterson is of interest for Hearn to match against Brook in the summer. Like Vargas, Peterson is not a stadium worthy opponent. I mean, neither of these guys are anywhere close to being big enough names to stick in a stadium with Hearn.
