  • Kell Brook bertekad untuk kembali menyandang titel juara dunia.
  • Karier petinju asal Inggris itu sempat meredup setelah absen berlaga selama tahun lalu.
  • Kell Brook akan memulai perjalanan tahun ini dengan menghadapi Mark DeLuca di Sheffield Arena, 8 Februari 2020.

SKOR.id - Mantan juara dunia kelas welter (66,6 Kg), Kell Brook, bertekad untuk bangkit. Ia berharap mendapat kesempatan kembali berduel memperebutkan gelar juara dunia.

Tahun ini, Kell Brook berharap dapat menjalani duel ulang dengan Errol Spence Jr. yang saat ini memegang dua titel divisi welter, IBF dan WBC.

Ambisi Kell Brook kembali masuk dalam jajaran petinju elite dunia memang besar. Seiring berjalan waktu, pamornya sebagai mantan juara dunia perlahan menghilang.

Apalagi Kell Brook sempat menghilang dari peredaran. Bahkan pada tahun lalu, ia sama sekali tidak naik ring.

Petinju yang lahir pada 3 Mei 1986 itu pun mengaku namanya mulai terlupakan.

"Orang-orang menghapus nama saya. Laga terakhir saya tidak fantastis," ujar Kell Brook.

Kali terakhir petinju bergaya ortodoks itu berduel terjadi di Sheffield Arena, Sheffield, 8 Desember 2018 lalu. Kala itu, ia menang angka atas Michael Zerafa.

"Pertandingan terakhir saya tidak fantastis. Banyak hal yang harus saya buktikan,” Kell Brook menambahkan.

Karier Kell Brook mulai meredup setelah dua kekalahan beruntun yang dialami dari Gennady Golovkin (September 2016) dan Errol Spence Jr (Mei 2017).

Ya, Brook sempat dinilai terlalu berani kala naik dua divisi untuk menantang Gennady Golovkin yang saat itu memegang titel WBC, IBF, dan IBO di kelas menengah (72,5 Kg).

Alhasil, Brook pun babak belur dan harus takluk di ronde kelima. Ia mengalami cedera cukup serius dan bahkan mendapat perawatan di rumah sakit.

Setelah itu, Kell Brook mencoba bangkit dengan kembali ke divisi aslinya, welterweight, dengan tujuan mempertahankan titel IBF.

Sayang, ia harus kembali menelan pil pahit kehilangan sabuk juara dunia IBF seusai takluk dari Errol Spance Jr. 

Kini, secara perlahan Kell Brook mulai membenahi kariernya. Setelah menelan dua kekalahan beruntun, ia tercatat sudah melakoni dua pertandingan.

Selain menang atas Michael Zerafa, sebelumnya petinju berjuluk Special One itu mengalahkan Siarhei Rabchanka.

Kemenangan itu membuat Brook mendapatkan gelar WBC Silver kelas menengah junior (69,9 kg) di Sheffield Arena, 3 Maret 2018.

Tahun lalu, Kell Brook sempat dikabarkan bakal berhadapan dengan Amir Khan. Namun rencana itu tak kunjung terealisasi, hingga akhirnya ia tak satu kali pun naik ring.

Setelah melalui perjalanan panjang, Brook berharap dapat kembali menyandang gelar juara tahun ini.

Akan tetapi, petinju berpostur 175 cm ini harus lebih dulu melewati tantangan dari Mark DeLuca di Sheffield Arena, 8 Februari nanti.

Pertandingan ini akan memperebutkan gelar WBO Inter-Continental kelas menengah super yang lowong.

“Tahun ini, saya ingin menjadi juara lagi. Saya ingin melakoni pertandingan ulang dengan Errol Spence Jr. Saya bisa menaklukkan kelas welter," katanya. 

"Untuk pertarungan yang tepat, saya akan kembali melakukannya di divisi welter,” Kell Brook menuturkan.
