GETTYKell Brook will defend his world title in Sheffield
The 28-year-old, who remains unbeaten in his 32-fight career, will defend the title on March 28.
Brook is looking to regain the title after successfully taking Shawn Porter's belt on points in California in August.
Matchroom chairman Barry Hearn revealed his excitement at the weekend about Brook's bout when he said: "I can’t wait to finally see Kell make that walk at the Motorpoint Arena as world champion.
"Last year was a year of incredible highs and lows and the bravery he has shown to come back from that life-threatening injury has been quite remarkable.

"The fact is that Kell is a special fighter and I believe he will go on to unify the 147lbs division, it will be an emotional night for Kell and another big statement will be made."
Brooks' title defence is incredible, considering he escaped death while holidaying in Tenerife last September when he was the victim of a machete attack.
He was stabbed in the thigh and required blood transfusions and life-saving surgery.
