Cloutier’s Canada Corner
Brook vs. Bizier In England
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL - The IBF championship committee scheduled a purse
bid for Tuesday in New Jersey for the IBF welterweight world
championship between the British Kell Brook and the Canadian
Kevin Bizier. This purse bid has been cancelled.
Monday afternoon, Yvon Michel, the promoter of the GYM
Group, made an agreement with the Brook’s promoter, Ed
Hearn, to present the bout in England. The date and the city
where will be presented this world title fight, should be
confirmed in the next days.
Against his mandatory challenger, Brook (35-0-0) will
proceed to the third defense of his IBF 147 pounds world
title. Bizier (25-2-0) became mandatory challenger November
7th in Miami, in beating Fredrick Lawson (24-1-0) by TKO in
the 10th round in an IBF elimination bout.
