The Return of the King - Kell Brook

In honour of his winning the IBF Welterweight crown and becoming the latest in a long line of prolific Sheffield boxers, Kell Brook was welcomed back to Sheffield with a Civic Reception and a public event in the Winter Gardens.

His trainer Dominic Ingle spoke of those men that Kell Brook was following: Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson, Clinton Woods among others.

And promotor Eddie Hearn looked forward to major fight nights at the Arena, starting later this year with an as-yet- provisional date of 6th December....perhaps to be followed with a Wembley Stadium date with Amir Khan next year.  And he spoke about Brook now looking to unify the welterweight division in a very strong boxing division.

As for the hundreds that had turned out to welcome him home, it was a special day to say well done to their special K.
