Kell Brook wins world IBF welterweight title
Kell Brook is the new IBF welterweight champion after claiming a majority decision over Shawn Porter in Carson, California.
The fighter from Sheffield had been waiting 18 months for his title shot after seeing three clashes with Devon Alexander fall through, with Porter taking advantage to defeat Alexander and claim the belt. But Brook took his chance when it came in a tight and, at times, untidy clash with the judges handing him the contest 114-114, 117-111, 116-112.
