Kell Brook insists he does not fear Gennady Golovkin and his knockout record.The Kazakh KO king has stopped his last 22 opponents, 32 from 35 in total, and none of his world title fights has gone the distance since 2010.Listed at No. 2 in the ESPN pound-for-pound rankings, Golovkin is the world middleweight No. 1 whose rivals have avoided fighting him.But Brook (36-0, 25 KOs), from Sheffield, is not daunted by the task of stepping up two divisions from welterweight to challenge California-based Golovkin for two (WBC and IBF) of his three world middleweight titles on Saturday.Two Britons -- Martin Murray last year and Matthew Macklin in 2013 -- are among Golovkins victims and Brook admits he is taking on the best in the boxing business at the O2 Arena.Ive asked people in the sport is there anything you can pull Golovkin down with, and they couldnt say, Brook told ESPN. Win or lose I know I will have been in with the best. Im looking forward to sharing the ring with the best fighter in the world.Im not scared of him. Ive had so many things that have happened to me, like being stabbed [two years ago] and thinking I might not fight again, so this for me -- fighting Golovkin -- is sport and I dont fear him.Ive heard about his power but hes going to have to show me what hes about. I know Martin Murray went 11 rounds with him and hes a very tough man. It might come down to the skill, and who wants it the most. It might come down to the sweet science of the game.The 20,000 capacity venue sold out in just 11 minutes and 30-year-old Brook admits many will be coming for the chance to see Golovkin.Everyone has got their own opinion but I hope the British public gets behind me but a lot of fight fans love Golovkin and some will be there just to support him, Brook told ESPN. I cant say all the British fight fans will be behind me in this fight. I would prefer it if they were cheering for me.But it wont make any difference to me. I cant say that all the British fans there will be supporting me because Golovkin is a very exciting and popular fighter.He can punch people out and fans like that and some British fans may be supporting him. But whether they are paying to watch me win or lose, I still get paid.Brook insists he feels more comfortable as a middleweight than a welterweight and also insists he is not intimidated by Golovkins fearsome reputation.I just know what I can do and anyone can be beat, Brook told reporters at a news conference.His opponents probably listened to all that talk about him but I will concentrate on what I can do instead of worrying what hes going to do.It doesnt matter to me what his record is. Hes got to opponents before he has fought him, like a young Mike Tysons opponents were beaten before they got in the ring with him.My mindset and determination are different from everyone elses and thats why Im going to win this fight.Theres a little bit of fear with me but that will make me so sharp in the fight, its healthy and it will make me switched on.Ive got the skills. Everyone is going on about me being a smaller guy coming up but thats not the case.Ive never trained with these sort of calories and fuel before. Im naturally strong and I believe its written that this fight has landed on my toes and I will shock the world. It will be the biggest upset ever.Im passionate about doing something no British fighter has done before and this will be the biggest win ever I believe. Air Max 270 Cheap .
