“I never expected to be out again so quickly but I can’t wait, Kell Brook told Matchroom Boxing. “I feel like I’m unbeatable right now and Gavin isn’t going to be able to cope with my speed and power on fight night..”
Frankie Gavin said: “I’ve dreamt of a world title and I will be 100 per cent ready physically and mentally for Kell Brook. Of course it’s going to be tough but I believe Kell is beatable and I’ve always felt that I have got the skills and the team to cause an upset.”
