CHRIS EUBANK JR. and Kell Brook are currently in negotiations for a July pay per view grudge match. However, a fight weight has yet to be determined.
Brook just won a major career-defining victory against bitter rival Amir Khan. Eubank Jr was there to witness the match.
In February, Kell Brook defeated Amir Khan
The former IBF champion, now 35, has been lined up to return in the summer despite the possibility of his retirement.
SecondsOut was informed by Ben Shalom, a promoter: "Kell Brook is keen to fight so he's likely going to fight in July in an important fight."
Brook, 32, replaced Eubank in a 2016 fight for a middleweight title with Gennady Gorlovkin, 40.
Since then, he has harbored a grudge and Kalle Sauerland and Shalom have been trying to resolve it.

Brook should be able to return to middleweight, but Eubank has requested that Brook is able to catchweight.
Talks are stalled by the size difference, as well as Anthony Joshua's delay in rematching with Oleksandr Uzyk.
Shalom has been in contact with Freddie Cunningham, AJ's manager, to avoid clashes of dates.
He stated, "I believe there's no doubt Chris wants to fight for Kell Brook."
"And I believe Kell will fight Chris if the terms and weight are right.
"We have started positive conversations with Kalle now, we are working towards that, and we believe that will happen.
"Usyk-Joshua is the problem right now, so we have to make our schedules around that.
"So, while we have some big fights we want to announce, we must make sure that they don't clash.
"We are talking to Freddie a lot regarding that fight, but making sure that we don't clash that date.
"And that's the little delay on the May/June calendar at the moment. I know it's just as frustrating for Eddie [Hearn] than it is for us.
"So there are some big fights to be announced, we're just making it all fit together."
Eubank joined Sky Sports as a marquee signer, but returned to Sky Sports in a non-PPV victory over Liam Williams, 29,
Brook's victory over Khan, 35, was reported to have sold more than 500,000 box-office buys - which means that his return is almost certain for PPV.

Shalom stated: "I think that if that fight occurs, of course it would be on box office but there's an option for Kell, and there's an option for Chris.
"And I expect that I will get to the bottom in the next few days."
