Kell Brook's trainer Dominic Ingle has told mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier he'll be out of his depth on Saturday night.

Live Fight Night

Brook (35-0-KO24) makes the third defence of his IBF world welterweight title against Canada's Bizier (25-2-KO17) at the Sheffield Arena - live on Sky Sports - and will hear the opening bell as a clear favourite.

Although Ingle remains adamant that Team Brook is looking no further than Saturday's fight, he said of Bizier: "He's going to give a good fight. He'll be up for his big chance. I'm expecting him to six or seven rounds before it gets too much for him and Kell Brook takes him out.

Kell Brook wants to slug it out with Kevin Bizier on Saturday night

"Kell's been in camp a long time. He's fit, strong and on-weight. Once again, we're in the mandatory position. Brook knows what's coming and knows what to expect. He's a tough guy and can punch.

"On Saturday night, it's going to be a different kettle of fish with Brook. I watched Kevin in the workout on the pads and he's got plenty of power and snap. He looked a bit tense, like a man on his wedding night with something to prove.

"There's always a time and a place for a tear-up and it's generally when you've boxed him until he's got nothing left in him. Anthony Joshua started off with a punch-up and finished off boxing but we do it the other way around.

"Kell's a good boxer, picks his way in, finds the opening and is very precise. A lot of people talked about Frankie Gavin being good on his feet but Kell closed him down and knocked him out in six. I'm sure Kell's going to pull it out of the bag and give the fans what they want.

"There are no easy fights in boxing. We don't allow fighters to under-prepare. There are no easy spars or sessions. We do everything full on. We've done all the work and we're not looking past Bizier. We've got to beat him in style.

"Kell's a precise puncher, accurate and powerful. I think Bizier will realise after four or five rounds that he's out of his depth."

Brook v Bizier is part of an intriguing night of boxing in Sheffield, where Luke Campbell clashes with Gary Sykes for the vacant Commonwealth lightweight belt and the unbeaten heavyweight David Allen meets American Jason Gavern.
