Sky lands rights to Brook v Gavin

UK pay-television broadcaster Sky has acquired rights to the May 30 boxing card headlined by Kell Brook’s defence of his IBF welterweight belt against Frankie Gavin.

The night of boxing at The O2 arena in London also includes two other world title fights and will be broadcast exclusively live on pay-per-view platform Sky Sports Box Office.

After defeating Jo Jo Dan in March, Brook makes a quick return to the ring against fellow Brit Gavin, while Londoner Kevin Mitchell challenges WBC lightweight champion Jorge Linares and Welshman Lee Selby takes on Evgeny Gradovich for his IBF featherweight title.

British Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua will take on American former world heavyweight title-challenger Kevin Johnson.

The May 30 event will follow Sky Sports Box Office’s exclusive live coverage of Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao on May 2.
