Kell Brook to face Carson Jones in Hull

Brook to face Jones in Hull

British welterweight Kell Brook will face Carson Jones on July 13 at Hull's Craven Park as he returns to the ring after an ankle injury.

Brook was forced to withdraw from two scheduled bouts with Devon Alexander for the IBF world welterweight title, but promoter Eddie Hearn has been quick to match him up with Jones, whom the 27-year-old beat over 12 rounds last summer.

Hearn told ESPN: "Kell Brook will return after a frustrating period, re-matching Carson Jones following their epic battle last July."

The Sheffield fighter is currently unbeaten in 29 professional fights.
