It’s a busy weekend for combat sports in Europe. In addition to KSW 39 in Warsaw on Saturday, as well as UFC Stockholm on Sunday, there’s yet another big boxing match taking place at a soccer stadium in the United Kingdom on Saturday. Fans will pack Brammall Lane in Sheffield to see local hero Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) defend his IBF Welterweight (147 lbs) title against American standout Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs).

Breakdown: Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence Jr. fight preview and prediction

Brook is a top-class boxer who has defended his title (which he won by beating Shawn Porter) three times, albeit against not very good competition. He bravely went up to middleweight to take on Gennady Golovkin, but got the Josh Koscheck treatment and suffered a fractured orbital in his TKO loss. It’s back down to 147 he goes to take on “The Truth,” who has torn through his opponents, which include Chris Algieri, Chris Van Heerden, and Leonard Bundu. This is definitely the best opponent he’s faced by far, and we’ll learn a lot about the young knockout specialist.
