Five of Kell Brook’s biggest fights in career including first world title against Shawn Porter ahead of Amir Khan bout

KELL BROOK tirelessly chased a grudge match with Amir Khan for almost all of his career – but had some mega-fights in between.

The 35-year-old welterweight rivals will finally settle their bitter score on Saturday inside the Manchester Arena.

For Brook, he has campaigned for the fight more than his adversary, who always insisted he was onto bigger and better things Stateside.

It left Sheffield’s former IBF welterweight champion welcoming some of boxing’s best stars to the UK instead.

Here, SunSport runs down Brook’s five biggest fights, as he draws closer to possibly his most important one.

Shawn Porter, August 2014

Brook got himself into the IBF mandatory position and travelled to California as an underdog to challenge then-champ Porter, now 34.

And against the odds, he boxed his way to a majority decision win to snatch the belt away and bring it home to the UK.

It remains one of the most underrated wins for a Brit on the road and sparked a three-year title reign.

Frankie Gavin, 2015

At the time, this was Britain’s first-ever welterweight world title fight and headlined on Sky Box Office.

Gavin, 36, was an elite amateur but failed to reach the same heights as a pro, but nevertheless was a statement win for Brook.

He dominated the fight before the referee stopped the action just before the end of round six.

Gennady Golovkin, 2016

Brook walked away from a proposed welterweight unification to jump to middleweight after talks for Chris Eubank Jr, 32, to fight Golovkin, 39, collapsed.

He started well in the opening rounds before GGG’s size and power took over, eventually winning in round five.

Brook’s bravery came at a cost as he fractured his right eye socket but the fascinating fight proved popular with reports of 400,000-700,00 PPV buys.

Errol Spence Jr

Just under a year after his brutal loss to GGG, Brook returned in another massive fight, against unbeaten American star Errol Spence Jr, 31.

But it ended in similar fashion for Brook, who raced to an early lead before Spence’s pressure proved decisive.

It saw Brook lose his IBF welterweight crown and suffer another horror eye injury, this time his left.

Terence Crawford, 2020

Following defeat to Spence, Brook moved up to super-welterweight and looked to be making a run to become a two-weight champ.

But then an opportunity to fight another pound-for-pound star in Crawford, 34, was proposed and deemed too good to turn down.

Brook shrunk back down to 10st 7lb but was finished in four rounds behind closed doors in in Las Vegas, his last bout to date.
