"I want to fight Chris Eubank Jr, I dislike him more than Amir Khan" 🥊 Kell Brook | Up Front 

Simon has a sensational interview technique, ask the same question in 3 different ways and then answer it on behalf of the guest each time 😂

Amir Khan was 17 when he won silver i think he deserved the praise he got

Simon, you ask GREAT questions but you need to let your guests finish their answers!

KB was indeed a formidable fighter and a true champion in his prime. KB’s 'all of the lights' ring walk added a unique touch to his presence in the boxing world. It will be missed, showcasing his style and flair before each match. Cheers to the memorable moments he brought to the sport. 💥🥊

Always loved Kell, Great character and down too earth guy. Great interview Simon, really enjoyed this one

Kell Brook was the first fighter I properly followed and will always have a special place in my heart. Fantastic boxer and wish he'd fought more towards the end of his career. Too many gaps and inactiveness.

Could definitely have competed with Crawford and Spence if it wasn’t for the Golovkin fight. Brook deserved a lot better

Unreal champ. No one I liked more boxing then this LEGEND

Both Kell and BJS are two fighters who should have been hall of famers… Incredible natural talents…

Great to hear from Kell and to see that he's in a better place mentally. Not sure about a return to the ring, but, surely he knows more than enough about boxing to impart some of that knowledge to the next generation of boxers, as a trainer. Great interview - thanks for uploading.

Absolutly great interview Simon. It was great to hear from Kell. He has so much to say this short interview he could of gone into so much detail.

One of the best listens yet, Kel is just ya normal bloke of the street.. if your from humble beginnings and grew up on a council estate you can relate to Kel massively.. I know exactly what he means when describing how the lads just get into scraps etc

Fantastic episode. Fair play to Kell Brook, a normal boy who became an elite level boxer, making a few human mistakes along the way. A more impressive life and career than most could ever hope for. I always felt like if he had have gotten the world title opportunities a few years earlier then he would have had more longevity at the top, it all felt so fleeting with Kell even though he had 40 pro wins.

This is a man who has more than earned his stripes in life absolute legend

You can’t not respect a fighter who’s been in with Spence, GGG, Crawford and porter, he dismantled a very ageing Khan and put that to bed… very underrated and undervalued in my opinion by the British public, I’d love to see him have one last dance with Eubank, come on Kell !

The best one yet, well done Simon & Kell - that was a riveting interview 👌

Best one yet. Love Kell. Glad hes doing well as was great to meet him and discuss the Khan fight at the Jonas v Mayer card. Legend!

Good interview. Have to admire Kell’s candidness and sincerity. Best of luck to him, whatever he chooses to do next.

Terrific interview, possibly the best so far.

Cracking episode....some fighter Kell. Unreal timing!!! Best walk-on music aswell...created the perfect dramatic entrance for a Gladiator.

I got into Boxing because of Kell Brook... 2013 2014 when we had the Froch Groves rivalry and Kell winning a title in America it was a great period in British Boxing both domestically and internationally.

Held himself incredibly well with the Khan discussion. Total class.

Great Interviw Simon.....Kell will always have the Love of the Fans....his fight against Golovkin was so Brave...and as a massive Boxing Fan I for one would love to see him kick Eubanks Ass

Fellow Steel city man here...big up kell brook I'll always remember the golovkin fight.... much smaller man going to war with an absolute monster... and that atmosphere at the o2 that night was electric... that's boxing at it's best

Top lad, unbelievable fighter ! I loved his fights & style ! I’ve see him live & met him a couple of times ! Good luck for the future champ 👊🏻

Love the show look forward to it each week Simon always asks the questions others don’t

Kell, a Sheffield legend. A great honest interview 👏🏻

Love Kell Brook, great, classy fighter. Very good interview. Thanks Up Front team.

Honest interview- Warrior💯! Absolute gentleman. 👏🏻 Respect for praising and crediting his father and mentor - Terry - Top G

The incident in Tenerife and the two eye injuries took a lot out of Kell. Having seen the way he moved prior to the Tenerife incident compared with the way he moved after, it looked like there was a change in his range of motion. He still had spring in his legs, he still had energy and stamina - but the way he moved in for his attacks changed. Kell had an odd stance at times when he attacked from certain angles. When Kell was creating angles, he used to take a very long sideways step with one leg, throw his shots then use that long leg to pivot out from while other fighters tend to shuffle. It seemed to give Kell the ability to get his shots in and have a solid base to both get low and out of the direct line of fire while using that platform to swivel out effortlessly. After the leg injury, that stance changed. It was still there to some degree, but it seemed he couldn't get as wide prior to punching and couldn't get as low before pivoting out. I think this cost him against GGG. Contrary to popular opinion, I feel Kell was HIGHLY competitive in that fight. Kell had moments in every round where he forced GGG to go backwards - and I'd rarely seen GGG take back-steps for anything other than re-setting himself. GGG may never admit it, but it looked to me like Kell was hurting him every time he threw with power - maybe not enough to knock him out, but enough to make him cautious. I wonder if Kell's movement was hampered as I suggested above - and if Kell moving the way he did prior to his leg injury would have had that extra fraction of a second, or extra few centimeters in his duck to have avoided some of the punches GGG landed with? Finally - Kell, I know that you're bored since you retired and you have the itch to do it again, but mate there's no need. Settling the score with Khan in dramatic style is the perfect send-off. Take your knowledge, drive and boredom and channel it into ushering in the next fighter off the ranks. Get yourself back into the Ingle gym and help share some of that old Ingle wisdom you soaked up for most of your life with the next wave of kids who need some guidance and tough love.

Kell was an underated fighter by the masses, boxing purists know how good he was. Timing, accuracy, good boxing brain and decent power. Climbed weights to fight GGG when he was avoided like the plague in the MW division. (Always thought GGG should have gone up and tested himself @ SMW)

If Kell faced Spence before GGG. He would have won that fight!

Thanks for this. I love Kell but he finds it hard to open up early on. Great interview Simon and keep your head up Brook you are a legend

great to hear from Kell, proper honest interview 👊

Absolutely love Kell Brook loved his style he was one of my favourites to watch

Really interesting! Kell was one of my favourite boxers to watch. He had a great combination of slickness and concussive power.

The Crawford and levels part was absolute class. Kell got really prickly bur Simons "I can't do what you can do" reply was brilliant. He got Kell back onside perfectly. The best interview yet. Keep them coming.

Great episode and no nonsense questions , always loved kell as a fighter

Good interview. I like that when Simon has guests who are not the most eloquent he answers the questions for them which then results in them agreeing with him or paraphrasing him. I have no problem with that

Great to see Kell working at the highest level. Great guest and proper down to earth lad very honest, a great champion who should have been marketed better

As an American who really didn’t follow alot of the ppl Simon talks to this podcast is amazing showing u and telling their stories keep it up oke Simon

Respect to Kell Brooke, thanks for sharing your story with us all 👊🏽

Really appreciated kells honesty, feel for him. You can tell hes on medication to help him manage each day bit easier and adjust to normal life and trying to avoid filling the void with drink and drugs. Gave me some great nights and take it from me, and many others u have our respect as true fighter, and i prey u will find peace and your new place away from boxing❤🙏

I remember seeing Kell live for his home coming fight against Frankie Gavin after he won the title against Porter, great fighter and was so happy when he beat Khan and finally shut him up

Great interview, I would love to see the full unedited version. Kell looks like he’s still struggling to adapt, hopefully he can find peace outside of the ring. What a fantastic skilful boxer, he would beat Benn or Eubank Jn even now

The best interview I've seen!!

Best one yet by a mile! Great kid kell brook like.

Simon's a fucking great interviewer, he doesn't poke to hard but just enough to get a response, and Kell's a diamond of a lad.

SHEFFIELD Legend what a Super Boxing 🥊 city it is & Sheffield can be a very rough place at times

Possibly the best episode yet Simon. Kell best of healthy to you

Great episode Really good seeing Kell in a good place. Great fighter at his peak and I think a fight with Eubank Jr would capture the imagination. Both past their prime and a good matchup. If it happens, interesting to see at what weight. Go Kell 🥊

One of my favourite fighters, his ability in his prime was outstanding

Always thought Brook would beat Khan. Great episode, Kell’s honesty and vulnerability makes the interview work.

Love the series and all the guests so far, but without doubt the best are the boxers. There’s just a rawness and realness to them that I don’t think other sportsmen and women can match. The authenticity of the sport is unmatched for me.

That was banging, thoroughly enjoyed

Another great guest! One boxer that I always went out my way to watch and fearless. Anyone that is willing to go all against GGG or Crawford is worthy of every last respect. The Spence fight was just bad luck not ability. I never thought Spence was better than Kell and I still don't. My bet was on Kell and it was just bad luck with the eye but I got my bet back when Spence fought Crawford so its all good lol. I think Kell has got 1 or 2 more British fights left in him and I would love to see Brook V Eubank!

Great interview with one of our best. Kell's win over a prime Shaun Porter is still one of the best wins by a brit on US soil for me but the GGG fight was career suicide. That fight damaged Kell and arguarbly spoilt his chances against Spence in the next fight but at least he had the balls and belief to try and be great against GGG.Kell was supremely gifted and just a brilliant , highly skilled champion.

One of my favourite fighters good luck to u Kell great interview simon

Love kell brook what a guy he is so likeable and what a warrior

Simon Jordans reaction to Kell Brook (going up 2 weight classes) vs Eubank Jr: "I'd like to see it!" Simon Jordans reaction to Conor Benn (going up 2 weight classes) vs Eubank Jr: "How dare they sanction this, going up 2 weight classes is unsafe, let me get Robert Smith on the phone!"

I’m from sheffield so might be biased but this one is my favourite so far,done sheffield proud Kell with all the ups and down,champion 👌

Jordan has this confrontational manner, which is nice applied sparingly, but overall it’s not conducive to flow. If Jordan had adopted a more relaxed approach it could have been smoother and better, rather than feeling awkward and clunky. I felt like he needed to guide the ship more rather than pull it out of the water and reset it which he appeared to do so throughout. His questions seemed to be too long and overcomplicated. I get what he’s trying to do, he’s trying to ask questions that maybe no one else has asked to obviously create compelling content. But sometimes less is more.

This guy could have done so much more with his career.

Simon was like a Jedi master the way he was getting Kell to repeat what he said. Great episode

Brilliant episode. Love kell. Thanx.

It's nice to hear from the Special one that he's in a better place and he's doing well. 👌🏽👍🏾

Great to hear talking about a step parent like that coming from a place where i can relate its great to hear, kell will always be massively under rated constantly searching for that big fight he unfortunately jumped at the ggg fight and had lots of early success but his bravery was his undoing there left far to much of himself in the ring that night then took on a huge weight cut just 4 months later for the spence fight if kell didnt fight Golovkin he beats spence for me shame #allofthelights

Kell Brook - top guy. Great interview!

I love kell, he’s an honest hard working man . Much love on this interview, a very nice person the end 👍👍👍👍

One of me favourite fighters, good episode 👍

Big up kell brook. One of the boys 👍👍

good honest answers in this interview, salute to top british fighter going around the world representing

Terrific interview 👏👏👏👏

Good lad Kell , you made sheffield proud , was a warrior achieved your dream of been world champion, not many can say that, wish you all the best in your future , from your neighbouring councill Estate at shiregreen , sheffield , all the best pal

How do you interview fighters with this level of disrespect, talking about levels, you got outclassed, respect the people who come on your show and line your pocket

Class interview, love Kell

Another quality podcast!

Another great show I enjoyed it 😊

Levels. Never were more true words said about Brook- Crawford. None the less Brook has had a great career.

Kell Brook was one hell of a fighter throughout the 2010’s & his win in America over Porter definitely doesn’t get the credit it deserves, one of the best away wins by any Brit in boxing history under the circumstances, just look at what Porter went on to do & who he beat. It was just a pity a prime Kell didn’t get to face off in big unification fights against Thurman & Garcia around that time because he had the tools to beat them all & go down as an all time British great, superb interview..

Kell was a top class elite fighter. Completely underrated. Same has froch. Both class acts. Saying that it worries me kell is thinking of making a comeback

There’s something very cringeworthy when Simon starts swearing

Kell v Eubank. ? What a fight ! This needs to be made this year !!!!!

Simon deserves a lot of credit for the Up Front podcast. Keep up the good work.

Another great interview Simon 👏👏 Great questions, some tough to ask…. But the fact that you’re so researched and can ask them respectfully and honest, makes puts Kell at ease without taking offence to your opinions. Great fighter Kell and good to hear some of the psychology behind his actions and incident. Just demonstrates that we all have flaws and doubts, even when he’s shown that he was an elite fighter 🥊🥊

Great to listen to Kell’s story and top interview Simon - you gotta get Amir Khan and David Haye on at some point soon would love you to interview those too - oh and a rugby league great too - as I’m keep asking 😂

Really enjoyed this enjoyed kell fights and simons a good interviewer no ball licking

Legend of British boxing. Anyone who can see through the false perception of Khans career knows that Kell always had his number at any stage of their careers

Kelly’s problem was partying , he did it very openly … god knows how he never got caught And yes I’ve seen him in Ecclesfield doing it ! Please god don’t come out of retirement, boxing is a dangerous sport ❤

Great interview....

Good interview and brilliant fighter, one of the most complete British fighters ever and if his career had been managed better think he would be right up there in peoples estimations. Khan never would have beaten him

First episode watched all the way through. special K the legend and will alway be remebered as great!!!

One of the most honest and insightful interviews I've ever heard from a professional boxer. Kal saying it felt like he was on death row waiting to be executed before he came out. I'd like to know if Kell having a speech impediment and the inevitable bullying he will of had to suffer at school made him angry and want to fight 🤔. Alot of boxers seem to have speech impediments Tyson, Holmes, Thurman, Eubank, Benn to name a but a few.

This podcast made Simon learn something and most importantly so did I

I like Kell Brook , nice guy . Hope he can now give something back to the community and get young kids involved in sports / discipline

Quality 🥊🥊

Really enjoyed this

This was great and also the funniest last few sentences of any interview ever. "I'd like to beat him up" "I'd like to see you beat him up" LOL

Good interview, Kell seems alright. Great boxer, must be so tough to leave it alone when u were that good.

Be proud Kell, you fought Golovkin when the world avoided him, including Eubank. You stepped up as a smaller man and performed so well that it instilled some other fighters with enough confidence to consider fighting him. You came back so well against Khan and closed that long-standing argument. I would fight Benn if I were you, you'll walk through him, you're a better fighter than Eubank but you're giving up an unfair size disadvantage.
