KELL BROOK will return to action on March 26 when he defends his IBF welterweight title against mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier at the Sheffield Arena.

| Kell Brook has won 35/35 professional fights in his career |
Brook, who last fought in May when he stopped British rival Frankie Gavin in the second defence of his crown, pulled out of a bout with Argentinian Diego Chaves three months ago due to a rib injury.
The unbeaten Sheffield fighter insists he is now fully fit to take on Bizier (25-2; 17KO wins) - a bout that will do little to whet the appetite given the 31-year-old Canadian has twice lost to Jo Jo Dan, who was stopped by Brook in four rounds last year.
Brook (35-0, 24KO wins) said: "While I was gutted to miss out on fighting in October, I've fully recovered from the injury and feel stronger than ever.
"I've been working hard in the gym and working on new things, and I cannot wait to put on another explosive performance for my hometown fans and prove I am the best 147lbs fighter on the planet."
On the same bill, Olympic champion Luke Campbell will have his first fight since losing his unbeaten record to Yvan Mendy in December.
