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.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>

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.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
"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."</div>

The Bolton fighter hit out at IBF welterweight champion for fighting mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier on March 26.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Khan’s team were in negotiations with Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn about a June 4 fight at Wembley Stadium.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
But the former light-welterweight world champion blasted Brook and Hearn for taking on the little-known Canadian.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
He also claimed Brook wanted a 50-50 split for the June 4 clash, but Hearn denied that when he retaliated on Twitter.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Khan said on the social media site: “I want it, Eddie wants it, Sky want it, all the fans want it, but then Kell decides to fight Kevin Bizier who's lost to Jo Jo Dan twice!</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“Never known of a world champion to have three bum defences back to back, make that four if you include Diego Chaves, at least fight someone in the top 10.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“Mandatories can step aside happens all the time, I was mandatory to Floyd [Mayweather] for two years with WBC.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“Brook wants 50/50 split with me, wake up son and smell the coffee! Be realistic and make it happen, even Eddie told you you’re not worth that!</div>

“Fact is they are fooling the fans fighting all these bums on the back of my name to hype his fights and profile.”</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Promoter Hearn hit back immediately by revealing he had kept negotiations confidential at the request of Khan’s team but felt free to disclose them now the Bolton fighter “breached” the agreement.</div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Hearn said: “He asked for a £10m guarantee with upside to fight Brook with Kell getting approx £2m to £2.5m. After I spat my coffee out we said no thanks.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“Since then I have been in discussions with Al Haymon’s [Khan’s advisor] team to try and get this made. We are willing to take the smaller split to get this made but enough of the insults.</div>

“Amir Khan we will make this easy for you 60-40 in your favour and you have it.”</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
The IBF welterweight champion has to face his mandatory challenger and promoter Eddie Hearn agreed a deal on Monday for the fight to happen in the UK to avoid going to purse bids.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
The likely venue for the title clash will be Sheffield Arena.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Bizier has lost two of his 27 fights and Sheffield star Brook will be expected to comfortably deal with the Canadian puncher.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Brook, 29, pulled out of an October defence against Diego Chaves because of a rib injury suffered in sparring.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
But he has fully recovered now and will hope by getting his mandatory out of the way it will clear the path for a summer clash with British rival Khan.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Brook’s promoter Hearn has already provisionally booked Wembley Stadium for June 4 in the hope of getting a deal done.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
It would be the biggest fight in the UK since Carl Froch’s eighth-round knockout of George Groves at the same venue in May 2014.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Khan, 29, has not fought since his May win over Chris Algieri in New York so it is likely the Bolton fighter would want to get into the ring before the potential June clash.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
However, it is not clear what the former light-welterweight world champion’s plans are since he missed out on a money-spinning fight with Manny Pacquiao.</div>
