    Unbeaten British Welterweight star Kell Brook will make his debut on American soil on December 17 as part of the undercard of Carl Froch’s Super Six final against Andre Ward at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

    Brook took his unbeaten record to 25 fights two weeks ago with a punch-perfect sixth round stoppage of tough Pole Rafal Jackiewicz in front of a sold-out hometown crowd at the Ponds Forge International Arena in Sheffield.

    Now the 25 year-old will take his considerable talent to the East Coast of America to showcase his talents ahead of what promises to be a year of stellar fights for ‘The Special One’ in 2012.
    “It’s the best Christmas present I could have,” said Brook. “I’ve been dreaming of fighting on a massive show in America and I plan to put on a great performance. The pressure will be on to dazzle the American fans and that’s exactly what I plan to do.”

    “This is a big night in the career of Kell Brook,” said Hearn. “He has taken steps into the World Class level recently and on December 17 it will be another important milestone as we unleash him on the American public. Television executives in the States are delighted that they will get to see Kell in the flesh and he knows he needs to deliver something special to announce himself on the biggest stage.

    “This will be the final test for Kell before a major marquee fight in the spring,” added Hearn, who said that the opponent for Brook’s US bow will be named soon.

    Ticket details: Official Ticket, hotel and flight packages for Froch vs. Ward plus Brook’s American debut are available through Winged Boots by calling 0808 1684599.
    Fans looking for tickets only should contact Matchroom Sport on 01277 359900, with tickets priced between $50-$300.

    "I am going to put him into retirement after this one.
    Of his last 6 opponents, I could beat all those guys on the same night.
    This guy doesn’t even know how to sell this fight, the guy is so nervous. We drive over to Bolton and we go to his town and he’s not even there."

    Another unknown making a name on a well-known's back. Brook is an excellent prospect but should step out of Khan's shadow and make HIMSELF the star others are calling out, instead of calling out a former lightweight.

    "To be honest with you, I normally beat guys with my C game and I dont have to pull my A or B game out."

    "Would I fight Andre Berto? Who is he? Is he a boxer?"

    Kell Brook has bigger fish to fry.

    This is a showcase for Brook, and I imagine they will want to pay Brook's opponent "bum wages". So which "bum" will it be?

    "Does he really want to step into the ring with best fighter of this era and embarrass himself? Being the coward that he is, I doubt he'll get in the ring. We'll see what his excuse will be this time."

    "People ask me 'Are you better than Muhammad Ali?', yep, I'm better than Muhammad Ali. People ask me 'Are you better than Sugar Ray Robinson?', yep, I'm better than Sugar Ray Robinson. Like I said before, I respect what they did for the sport. But I am the greatest, and this is my time."
