According to our local venues website Kell Brook will next defend his British strap in April at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall against Telford's Mark Lloyd.
Bit of a weird one this as Brook was meant to defend against Lloyd recently but the BBBoC put the blocks on it and Stuart Elwell got the fight instead.

Time for Brook to be moved onto Euro level comp. Lloyd is nothing more than an area fighter.

Dunno, think so. He recently lost to Bami in the Prizefighter tourney.
Terrific, I'm glad he's testing himself at last.

Me too....this fight would be a good indication of how he would fare against Mosely or Cotto.
If he wins this...100% next undisputed WW champ.
Fantastic.

Ive said before on here that Brook vs Mutley would be an absolute *******!
And if its meant to be in Wolvo then why not make this fight?
I cant understan why Mutley isnt getting a shot, he was meant to fight odonnell in an eliminator and he's now fighting watson!
so surely Mutley should be up for the british title!

Mutleys got Adnan Amar in an eliminator now mate on the undercard to battle of brum macklin vs elcock.
I agree though I think out of the current crop Mutley would give Brook one of his hardest tests.

Once again we get a shit load of hype around a fighter but he only gets very safe fights. No offence to Lloyd but he is not a top 10 welter domestically. Brook could find 4 or 5 good tests in Britain that would set him up for moving onto Euro level but like Khan and Cleverly he is being made to look a complete cunt.

Khan, Cleverly and Brook, what have they got in common, all 3 are young prospetcs, all 3 are promoted by???

If this is true, the secretary (or whoever at the BBBoC who is sanctioning) needs to resign.
Elwell was bad enough, Brook looked really pissed off at the end of that fight because he wasn't tested..... Lloyd wouldn't either.
Someone with a chin would be a start, never mind someone with anything in their fists.

This guy looks really fearsome. Tommy Hearns mk II.
Holds two wins over a 60+ Men In Black star...... and a points loss to Adnan Amar - who has beaten nobody of note.

Mutley would be a good fight for Brook but he needs moving up to a new level.I dont think Lloyd will test him any more than elwell did.

Cheers Saturday!!
Best get me tickets then!
there are a few welters who would be a good test for kell....but we are going to witness another easy win for kell....the sports in decline and with shit like this its not helping .
Like to see a sturdy oponent, doesnt he get the lonsdale belt for keeps in his next defence???

Surely Sky get to have a say on who the opponents are?
I'm not expecting them to demand hard fights but with the blowouts there's been recently on there it can't help there viewing figures and advertising revenue if people are turning off 5 minutes into the show?
If they persist with this they might as well knock boxing other than PPV on the head and make the decision to cancel subs a no-brainer.
****** needs to put on a good, fight we have had nothing but young kids knocking out over matched oponent in the last few weeks... And I doubt his Olympians show is going to be any different. Brook needs to be tested against someone we know.
Matthew Hatton maybe...:think
Matthew Hatton is the opponent we all want to say, and surely Sky want to see.
He's tough and durable. I'm fed up of these Juanma style two round wonders. Put someone in there that isn't going to fold as soon as he gets hit...and hell...maybe throw something back Kell's way and see how he reacts under pressure.
