July 28 is a huge night of boxing with a brilliant 50-50 heavyweight match-up and a stacked card beneath it,” said Eddie Hearn to skysports.com. ”Kell is back at the scene of his epic shootout with Gennady Golovkin to face highly-ranked Canadian Brandon Cook in a world title eliminator that will put him in pole position for a shot at all the world champions.
The Brit receives another big opportunity at The O2 Arena to boost is chances of re-entering the world scene following his defeat to Agit Kabayel for the European title.
Talk of a rematch vs Whyte quickly lost steam, but a win against Takam would put him in prime position to rematch vs the Body Snatcher.
“I’m delighted to get another big heavyweight clash over the line for July 28 - this is a great fight,” said promoter Eddie Hearn.
“For Del Boy, it’s a real last chance saloon at World level and for Takam it’s a chance to push for another World title shot after a string showing against AJ. July 28 is going to be a huge night of boxing at The O2.”
