Brook: Crawford fight could take place in the UK

Yesterday there was an information about a possible fight of Terence Crawford (36-0, 27 KOs) and  Kell Brook (39-2, 27 KOs). The current WBO welterweight champion could go to England, to the territory of the contender.

"I met promoter Bob Arum on the boxing evening in New York. I approached him and said that, as they were looking for an opponent for Crawford, I'm ready to beat him. Then I saw Crawford, and he also expressed readiness for such a duel. So everyone wants it. Now we need to agree on the numbers, and we can start training. Extra weight for me will not be a problem," the former IBF champion said, who after two defeats scored three victories, but in a different weight category.

"We have enough time. If we come to an agreement, we will be able to fight for a world title at welterweights. The duel could take place in the United States. But from what I have heard, there are talks of having it in the UK. Bob Arum, the promoter of Crawford, also asked for the fight on our territory, because he liked the British fans. We need to wait and see what happens," Brook said.
