Kell Brook vs. Carson Jones possible for July 7th in the UK

Image: Kell Brook vs. Carson Jones possible for July 7th in the UKBy Scott Gilfoid: 26-year-old undefeated welterweight contender Kell Brook (27-0, 18 KO’s) could be facing 147 pound contender Carson Jones (34-8-2, 24 KO’s) on July 7th in the UK, according to Dan Rafael on his twitter. Sadly, this amounts to be a huge step up from the 2nd tier opposition that Brook has been mostly facing his entire eight year pro career. I really hate this fight. Carson has been beaten a lot of times in his career already and only once sanctioning body has him ranked in the top 15.

It’s a strong possibility that this fight happens as long as the 27-year-old Jones defeats Jesus Soto Karass on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito bout on November 13th at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. If Jones wins that fight, which is highly likely given his huge size and power advantage over the weaker Karass, then the Brook-Jones fight is a strong possibility for 2011.
