World title contender Kell Brook will take on British rival Matthew Hatton in a high-profile ‘War of the Roses’ battle.
The 25-year-old Yorkshireman will fight Lancaster's European welterweight champion Hatton in an intriguing clash at the 13,500-capacity Motorpoint Arena in his native Sheffield on March 17.
Brook, who is highly ranked by the four major governing bodies, is on the verge of a world title shot this year having stepped up in class in 2011.
Promoter Eddie Hearn, who confirmed they are planning to set the venue up to hold 9,000 people, said: 'This is exactly the kind of fight we want to start making in this country.
'It is a fight that captures the imagination. Kell is coming along at the perfect rate with the perfect fights and this will build into a huge event for British boxing.'
