Britain’s Kell Brook will defend his IBF welterweight world title against mandatory American challenger Errol Spence Jr. at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane ground on May 27. “It’s long been a dream of mine to fight outdoors at Bramall Lane and I’m pleased to do that in the biggest fight in the welterweight division,” the 30-year-old told reporters on Wednesday. Brook has returned to the welterweight division after the previously unbeaten fighter was bludgeoned by Kazakhstan’s Gennady Golovkin in a one-sided WBC and IBF middleweight title bout in London last September.
