Sheffield star returns from
training camp with warning for Hatton

(JAN 27) Kell Brook is back in Sheffield
after a training camp in Spain, and has told Matthew Hatton that he will
in prime shape when they meet at the Sheffield Motorpoint Arena on March
17, live on Sky Sports. Brook spent a week in Fuerteventura with
members of the Ingle Gym in Sheffield as he begins his preparation for
the massive ‘War of the Roses’ Welterweight clash.
The unbeaten 25 year-old headlines the biggest show of his career so far
against the former undefeated European champion and he believes that
time in the sun has given him the perfect start to his preparations.
“Spain was great, we trained three times
a day, running on the beach was tough but great for the fitness,” said
Brook. “It was nice to get a change of scenery. There was about nine of
us from the gym and a few Spanish boxers there too - we had a good laugh
but got down to some good work too.
“I'm back in the Wincobank now but I was training over Christmas anyway
as Eddie Hearn told me there was something big coming in March so I
didn't want to switch off at all. I'm stepping it up now and we're going
to be really hitting it hard in the next week or so but I already feel
great so there are no worries there.”
Hatton recently warned Brook that his training could suffer as he
becomes a father for the first time when his partner Lindsey gives birth
to their daughter mid-February. Brook has denied that it will be a
distraction and warned Hatton that he is in for a hard night in
Sheffield.
“Everyone is different – we've got things worked out and it's really not
going to be interrupting our training. We've got our heads around how
it's going to work and we've got a lot of people around us to help too
so it's not a worry - I'm just really excited about it. He can't get
into my head with that sort of stuff and on March 17 I'm going to be all
over him. Dominic Ingle has already got me working on plans for Matt and
I know my game plan on the night will be spot on to beat him and bash
him up.”
