Since he knows that Bizier is a strong come-forward fighter, Brook aims to "excite everybody with an old-fashioned war."

Kell Brook added that since it's been nearly a year since he returned to the Sheffield Arena, he can't wait to get ready for the fight night. He has done everything right and training has gone very well.

At 30 years old this year, Brook believes he is "the best on the planet" and he wants to show that to the world. As the IBF champion he feels that he has a duty to show everybody why he is the champion.

Brook added that boxing is what he was born for. Walking to the ring, he feels invincible. Everything is about "getting in there and enjoying the night."
