Liverpool’s Liam Smith has confirmed he would be willing to fight super-welterweight rival Kell Book in the future. The duo are now stablemates after Smith joined Matchroom Boxing last week.
Smith signed a three-fight deal and he will be looking to work with promoter Eddie Hearn as he tries to win a second world title.
Brook is also looking for big fights after missing out on a bout with Amir Khan and Smith insists the pair could meet in the future. “I would like to fight Kell,” he told Sky Sports. “We speak, he’s a nice lad and he’s a big name in boxing but he’s come up to 154lbs and he was No 1 at 147lbs, so I don’t see how he can come straight in at the No 1 at 154lbs. “I have proved myself for a few years now and I still feel I am the best, even with Kell in the mix. If that fight came we would welcome it with open arms. “He’s a big name. He’s probably the biggest name, domestically, for me to fight so that’s one I would love down the line. “It’s probably the biggest fight out there for me – if there was a title involved in it – so with a little bit of luck one of us can become a champion, and a defence against each other is bigger than anything.”
