Brook vs Bizier: Live streaming results and round by round coverage

This afternoon at 3:30 pm EDT on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom, Kell Brook returns to action to make the third defense of his IBF welterweight title, facing mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier in the main event at Sheffield Arena.

Brook (35-0, 24 KO) is the big favorite here, and most are thinking past this fight, even if the fighter is not. He won the IBF belt from Shawn Porter in August 2014, and defended twice last year, easily handling Jo Jo Dan and Frankie Gavin. Brook had hoped to face Amir Khan, who instead of course signed to fight Canelo Alvarez on May 7. When that fell through, Bizier (25-2, 17 KO) became the opponent, as he had earned the shot with a stoppage win in November over Fredrick Lawson.

The most notable fight on the undercard will see lightweight prospect and 2012 Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell (12-1, 10 KO) look to bounce back from a loss to Yvan Mendy. Campbell will face veteran Gary Sykes (28-4, 6 KO) for the vacant Commonwealth title.

Patrick L. Stumberg will handle the round-by-round call this afternoon.
