Kell Brook wants to fight Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao next

Brook targets Mayweather fight

British IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook has said that he wants to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr or Manny Pacquiao in a unification bout.

Brook will put his title on the line against Jo Jo Dan on Saturday while Mayweather and Pacquiao face off on May 2, and the 28-year-old wants to be first in line to face the winner.

He told BBC Sport: "On May 3 there will only be two men in the division with world title belts. I would love to do a unification with the winner. I do belong at that level. I know at 100% I will beat any fighter.

"I see Mayweather winning the fight. He believes he will win with a passion. Pacquiao has lost before and can lose again. Mayweather can control the pace and is a brilliant defensive sharpshooter. For me he takes over the fight halfway through and wins convincingly."

Brook is unbeaten in 33 fights, with 22 knockouts.
