Brook is stepping back down to the 147lb division after his courageous defeat to middleweight king Gennady Golovkin last September and will face a dangerous opponent in Spence Jr.

The American carries a 21-fight unbeaten record, with 18 knockouts, and has vowed to "jump on" Brook if he displays any vulnerabilities after the Golovkin fight.
