Online gambling giants back Sheffield star on June 25

Online gambling site 888poker.com are sponsoring Kell Brook’s Sheffield showdown with Lovemore N’dou on June 25 live on Sky Sports.

The fight at the Hillsborough Leisure Centre is Brook’s first hometown fight since 2005, and the unbeaten Welterweight is promising an exciting show as he searches for his 24^th win against the rugged Australian-based South African, planning to become the first man to stop N’dou in the process.

“With Matchroom re-entering the boxing market, the sport appears to be back with a bang,” said Gareth Edwards, Director of Marketing at 888.com. “We are delighted to be associated with Kell Brook’s homecoming show in Sheffield. Kell is a great entertainer and we look forward to being part of an exciting show on June 25.”

Tickets are almost sold-out for Brook’s big night in Sheffield – which also sees stable mate and one of Sky’s ‘11 to watch in 2011’ Richard Towers in action and former World Champion Robin Reid take on Steel City man Wayne Reed – with a limited number of unreserved tickets priced £30 available from promoters Matchroom Sport.

Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn added: “As we continue our expansion into boxing, it’s imperative that we bring new sponsors into the sport and I’m delighted to welcome 888 to our campaign. We look forward to giving them maximum exposure on this sell out show.”

The remaining unreserved tickets priced £30 are available from Matchroom Sport on 01277 359900.
