Last Saturday at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, British fighter Kell Brook won a majority decision over IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter to take the belt back with him to the UK. Brook paid off as the underdog, and now he is looking to fight at home for his first title defense.
The date of December 6th is Brook’s optimal date, and it may mean a date with fellow Brit Amir Khan, who has been making noise about fighting Brook. Khan, a former Olympic silver medalist and pro boxing world champion, still has a huge following and will probably open as a favorite at the books once the match is made official.
