  • Ready to rumble: Golovkin and Brook.

    Kell Brook is preparing to jump up two weight classes to take on the might of Gennady Golovkin at the O2 Arena this weekend in a bout many see as a step too far for the Englishman.

    Golovkin, unbeaten at middleweight in 35 bouts and a unified belt-holder across four awarding bodies, is the heavy favourite, but do his peers and boxing experts give Brook a hope?

    We round up the best of pre-match opinion, but want to know who you think will come out on top.
