Kell Brook comes back down to welterweight to defend his IBF world title against the much-hyped and unbeaten Errol Spence Jr on Saturday night.

The Sheffield-born fighter takes to the ring in his home city and will be hoping the effects of last September's valiant defeat to Gennady Golovkin have had no lasting damage.

That bout, in which he suffered a broken eye socket, was fought at middleweight and Brook has endured a gruelling training regime in order to burn off the pounds he put on. Could such flitting around the weight divisions cost him?

When is it?

The fight will take place on Saturday 27 May at Bramall Lane.

What time will it start?

Brook and Spence are expected to walk into the ring at around 10.30pm BST.

Where can I watch it?
