The biggest night of Kell Brook's career to date comes on Saturday when he moves up two weight divisions to take on the feared world middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.

In what promises to be the highlight of the British boxing calendar, Sheffield’s undefeated ‘Special K’ will attempt to pull off a monumental upset against his Kazakh opponent.

Golovkin, a devastating puncher rated by many as the world’s best pound-for-pound fighter, comes into the bout off the back of 22 straight knock-out wins.

He, too, is undefeated and the fight's overwhelming favourite.

What belts are on the line?

Golovkin’s WBC and IBF world middleweight belts will be on offer to Brook, but the Kazakh’s WBA title will not be contested.

The body refused to sanction the bout due to concerns over Brook's jump up two weight classes.

What are they saying?

Golovkin: "I have a different plan and a more serious plan. Kell is a great fighter and I respect him. He's an undefeated champion from the UK with a great record. I understand it's not an easy fight for us so I'm more serious and more focused."

Brook: “I feel strong; I feel like I’ve never felt before. I’ve grown and put muscle on. I’ve been draining myself to make 147 for years. I feel more natural, more comfortable at this weight. I’m going to be a monster and surprise everybody when they see me and Golovkin at the weigh-in.”
