Kell Brook Wins Over Carson Jones
By: UK Boxing Writer Jai Singh
Kell Brook (now 28-0, 18 KO’s) admitted his hard-fought win has left him with him plenty of homework to do after prevailing in the toughest test of his career to beat Carson Jones (who falls to 34-9-2, 24 KO’s).
With the IBF eliminator victory, Kell Brook edges closer to that elusive world title shot he has been chasing for the past year.
‘It was a tough fight but I came through it and got the result after 12 hard rounds,’ the 26-year-old said.
‘I think the nose is broken and it affected me. I was tired halfway through.
‘I think I got the diet right but I need to get top men involved so I can sustain it through the whole fight. Things need to be addressed.
‘I’ll come back stronger. I’m still unbeaten and I proved I’ve got the heart. It did get tough in there but I stood my ground, got through the fight and did what I needed to do to get the win.
‘I didn’t like Carson in the build-up but he’s earned my respect here.’
His next move is likely to be a final eliminator against Argentinian power puncher Hector Saldivia – Brook said: ‘I’ll leave it to (my promoter) Eddie Hearn.’
‘He has guided me perfectly so far, so I’ll leave it up to him.’
A disconsolate Jones said: “‘t felt like a close fight. It was a majority decision and one of the judges had it a draw.
‘It was close and hopefully we can do it again.’
