The top five next opponents for Kell Brook

KELL BROOK is two defences into his IBF world welterweight title reign and is now looking to land a fight with one of the big names in and around his division. He is expected to be back out in October and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, spoke to us about his options.

Domestic rival Amir Khan has ruled out facing Brook this year, although has had discussions about meeting him in 2016.

Talks with Brandon Rios’ team appeared to be progressing well but now look to have come to a dead end.

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao would of course be dream fights for the Sheffield fighter but the former will be out on September 12, most likely against Andre Berto, while Pacquiao is sidelined with an injury until next year.

We’ve taken a look at some options that would be available for Brook in October and listed our top five.
