Sheffield boxing promoter Dennis Hobson has criticised the choice of opponent to face Kell Brook at Sheffield Arena this month - but also says Argentinian visitor Diego Chaves could pose the world champion considerable danger.

Brook and Chaves lock horns on October 24 in what will be Brook’s third defence of his IBF welterweight title.

The South Yorkshireman is promoted by Eddie Hearn, who has come under fire for delivering Chaves rather than bigger names. Brook has made it clear many times that he has wanted to compete with the elite and has repeatedly said he wants to fight the likes of Floyd Mayweather (now retired) and Amir Khan.


Hobson, who denied in The Star last week that he is envious of Hearn’s exclusive grip on Sky TV shows, said Chaves was not “a big enough name to build Kell’s brand. There are marquee names out there that Kell needs to bring him into that elite category.


“There’s a lot of disappointment in this opponent. People want to see Kell test himself now against the elite, and that’s where his promoter comes in and makes those fights, and makes them over here.

“Where Kell is now in his career, I think I’d have been able to make a bigger fight by now.

“I got Clinton Woods in with Roy Jones on limited resources, so I could’ve got Kell in with someone much more substantial than Chaves. It’s not good enough and Kell will need bigger names to get his juices flowing too.

“It being on Pay-Per-View is a disgrace too, it will get boxing done away with by having fights like this on PPV. I know they’re not world title fights or as big, but we’re putting meaningful fights on freeview on Spike

Why is that tho

Rigo scores a P4P upset and his promoter and network throw up when his name is mentioned

Crawford fights 3x in 2014 and wins FOTY. Next year he only gets 2 fights vs opp who are best known for losing

Walters KO's Donaire in a great matchup. Next year he main events but is viewed as the undercard to Verdejo on PR parade weekend and he has nothing set up

All 3 fought tough opponents, won and then got stifled. Why can't hbo and top rank let them be great :mjcry:



It was a drubbing

With Julius being golovkin's chief sparring partner I expected him to be kinda nice but he looked so lost

The punches he landed were less than the amount of times he was dropped :wow:

He went "look at the public reaction" as if that changes anything. I was gonna respond, "the public reacted stronger to Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero though....and you said that wasnt a good matchup", but he ran:mjlol:

Click to expand...

But yet yall told us Hopkins vs Shumenov, in a light heavyweight unification bout on cable not PPV, wasn't a good matchup...and now turning around to say different for GGG vs Lemieux in a unification, but on PPV at that:sas1:

What's changed?:sas2:
