Eddie Hearn has claimed that Kell's next fight will be against a "big name" from the 147 division in September. Unfortunately that big name albeit not confirmed appears to be 41 year old (42 when he fights) Sugar Shane Mosley.

After beating a bum 2nd time round and more or less giving up his world title shot to Devon I think the boxing fan wanted Kell to finally fight someone noteworthy that wasn't Matthew Hatton. Unfortunately if the rumours are true then a fight with a has been old man is not going to silence the doubters.
Sugar Shane has only recently come out of retirement and probably see's this fight as some sort of legends tours as we all know back in the days he was one of the best but now he is not even half the fighter. This will be a very poor choice if true and to think the pelters Khan got when he took on a then 35 years old Marco Antonio Barrera.
Kell Brook V's Big Name

Nothing to gain from a fight with Mosley other than stepping into the ring with an experienced, fairly streetwise fighter. Needless to say if brook loses it does him no good whatsoever.
What are these rumours that he struggled to make weight again on Saturday. Any truth?

It was true that he could not make weight but that may have been due to the injuries he had and the lack of fight. I do think that he will move up eventually.
Problem for Brook is that to fight a big name in 147 then he needs to relocate to the US as the big names will not travel to the UK. The only fighters he can entice to the UK are fighters that are past there best days like Moseley.
Another rumour appears to be Julio Diaz who gave Khan a fright last time round but I would not class him as a big name.
