Kell Brook targets Brandon Rios after successful title defence

Kell Brook admits that he would fight Brandon Rios for his IBF world welterweight belt after beating Frankie Gavin.

IBF world welterweight champion Kell Brook has insisted that he wants to fight Brandon Rios having successfully defended his belt.

Brook secured a sixth-round stoppage against Frankie Gavin to extend his record to 35-0, and he has responded to Rios's taunts by calling him out.

He told Sky Sports News: "I want massive names. I want to get up for big fights now. They are talking about Brandon Rios and that really excites me because we all know that he loves to have a fight and he is entertaining for the fans, and that's what I want to give.

"I want to give an all-action fight and he is the perfect candidate for the job.

"His team is saying that he is going to come over and knock me out, so bring that challenge on. I'm more than willing to take Brandon Rios on and perform in front of my British fans again."

Rios lost to Manny Pacquiao in 2013.
