Kell Brook: Debut and who he has fought

After winning two Amateur Boxing Association of England titles and two National Association of Boys Clubs with 31 wins out of 36 fights at amateur level, Brook’s first professional bout came in 2004 when he secured a six-round points victory over Peter Buckley in Sheffield.

After earning 16 wins from 16 early in his career, Brook claimed the vacant BBBofC welterweight title against Barrie Jones at York Hall.

Brook then claimed the WBO Inter-Continental title with a victory against Krzysztof Bienias, before his first bout under the Matchroom Boxing umbrella against Lovemore Ndou earned him the WBA Inter-Continental title.

A win over Matthew Hatton, the brother of Ricky Hatton, saw him add the IBF International welterweight belt to his collection and extend his unbeaten run to 27 fights.

Brook then defeated Carson Jones and Hector David Saldivia to earn a mandatory shot at the IBF welterweight title.

Unfortunately his shot against Devon Alexander Jr was missed due to injury, however after continuing his winning run, Brook earned mandatory challenger status again and faced Shawn Porter in August 2014 as he secured the title.

The Special One defended his belt against Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier, before moving up two weight divisions and facing WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, and IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin at the O2 Arena in London.

In his latest bout, Brook moved back down to welterweight and faced Terence Crawford at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for the WBO world welterweight title, a bout that he lost in November 2020 by TKO.
