MARCH HOMECOMING FOR KELL BROOK 

Kell Brook will return to hometown Sheffield to headline a 'massive' show on March 17.


The unbeaten Yorkshireman is the welterweight division's rising star following an impressive United States debut on the undercard of Carl Froch's Super Six final in December.

And promoter Eddie Hearn has booked the Sheffield Arena for a showdown with an opponent to be named later this month.

"Kell was a big hit in America," Hearn said. "He performed well, charmed the fans and pundits and learnt so much in the process.

"Now it's time to kick on in 2012 and when we first sat down the plan was always to aim for a big showcase fight at Sheffield Arena as soon as possible."

Brook, the WBA Inter-Continental title holder, said: "This is a huge night for me - the biggest show to come to Sheffield in many years - and I'm ready to put in a devastating performance against a tough opponent."

The 25-year-old is highly ranked by all the sanctioning bodies and is as high as number two in the WBO list. - http://www.sportinglife.com/
