IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (35-0, 24 KOs) will fight mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier (25-2, 17 KOs) on March 26 at the Sheffield Arena.

Brook stopped Frankie Gavin in the 6th round in May in his last outing and he will make the third defence of his title against Canada's Bizier.

The Sheffield fighter traveled to the United States and won a majority decision against Shawn Porter in August 2014 to capture the IBF belt before making two successful title defences.

Brook was due to fight Argentine brawler Diego Chaves in October, but he suffered a rib injury during training camp and the fight was called off.

Bizier stopped Fredrick Lawson in 10 rounds in a title eliminator in November to become Brook's mandatory challenger.

Bizier's two defeats both came against Jo Jo Dan, who Brook blasted away in four rounds in his first defence.

Since losing a split decision in a rematch against Dan in December 2014, Bizier has won two fights in a row.

If Brook beats Bizier, as expected, he could be set for a super-fight with countryman Amir Khan at Wembley in June.
