Boxing: Kell Brook to Defend IBF Title Against Diego Chaves in October

Unbeaten IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook is set to return to action on Oct. 24 against Diego Chaves.

Brook will look for a third successful defense of his title, and he will do it in front of his hometown fans inside Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, England. The bout will be broadcast on Sky Sports in the U.K.

Brook (35-0, 24 KOs) burst onto the global boxing scene when he toppled previously unbeaten Shawn Porter last August in California. Though he appeared to dominate Porter even after suffering a cut over his left eye early on, “Special K” only won via majority decision.
