KELL BOOK'S all-British battle with Chris Eubank Jr. is getting closer, but there are still money issues to solve.
Since Amir Khan's defeat in the sixth round of February, Welterweight Special K (40-3 and 28 KOs), has received a flood of offers.
Kell Brook and Chris Eubank Jr are getting closer to a possible fight
Eubank, who was determined to meet the Sheffield star one-on-one after his dominating display two months back, was among those in line.
Brook stated that Brook would fight at 155lbs. However, Brook made it clear that he wouldn't fight at 155lbs.
This issue appears to be resolved, but there's one more hurdle before the UK's boxing fans get the fight they want.
Kalle Sauerland, representing middleweight Eubank, said to IFL TV: "The Weight has, We Have - As I understand it there are middlemen who are also acting here."

"I am aware that the weight issue has been resolved.
"Ofcourse, weight is important. Both must be treated equally. There is a way to do that. It's professional boxing.
Sauerland did however hint that there are still many steps to be taken regarding the purses, before anything can be confirmed.
He said, "It's not about splittings, it is about money.

"Now it's up to the sides to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
"I believe it's an enormous fight. It's a blockbuster. Is it really what they want? We'll see."
