Ezekiel Brinsly Reid, better known as Kell Brook, born 3 May 1986 is an English professional boxer from Sheffield who fights in the welterweight division. He is a former holder of the British welterweight title and the WBO Inter-continental title at the same weight and presently holds the WBA version of the inter-continental title. In 2009 he was voted Britain's young boxer of the year by the Boxing Writer's club. Brook is also well known to be a huge fan of Sheffield United.
Brook's first fight as a professional took place in September 2004 with a 6 round points victory over experienced journeyman Peter Buckley at the Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield. He would fight again four more times that year to end 2004 with a record of 5-0 in just four months. Brook went about learning his trade against a host of journeymen before getting the opportunity in June 2008 to fight for the British title having compiled a winning record of 16-0.
The championship fight at London's York Hall saw Kell Brook take on Welshman Barrie Jones for the vacant crown. The fight was not without controversy however as the previous incumbent, Kevin McIntyre, had been stripped of the title after he sustained an injury and had to pull out of his scheduled defence against the Yorkshireman. Brook ended up winning the vacant belt with a 7th round stoppage of Jones who had come in at relatively short notice.

I woke up today
The papers spoke of a man we know
He's made of the stuff they say
That first made our country grow
Living in style, traveling to distant lands
Better hang tough
For now it's time to make your stand
Can we ignore the basic facts of history
Or deny what people say is destiny
I think the message is ever so loud and clear
Eddie, now don't you run
You know you're a bootlegger's son
And you saw just what it's done to the others
Eddie, now don't you run
It's the end of all your fun
And you saw just what they've done
To your brothers
Can we ignore the basic facts of history
Or deny what people say is destiny
First in the eighties but last of the sons
First in the eyes of his countrymen
I think the message is ever so loud and clear
Eddie, now don't you run
You know you're a bootlegger's son
And you saw just what it's done to the others
Eddie, now don't you run
It's the end of all your fun
And you saw just what they've done
This boy named Eddie used to set the fields on fire
He's the only one I know who dared to name his desire
In a county where the dairy men all had milking machines
Eddie was the only one to separate the cream
Eddie and his father let the cows come home
They were out in the pasture in a late summer storm
When out of the blue, a lightning bolt came down
And where his father stood, smoking bones lay on the ground
Eddie Bonebrake
His father's remains lie in the Kelsey Cemetery
But dogs like to dig up the bones that we bury
You can burn a field but you cannot burn the sky
That took your father from you in the twinkling of an eye
But you can burn a field and send clouds of black smoke
Up into the heavens, praying God will choke
And now you know the story and you know it was not me
Or my friend who did it, it was that boy named Eddie
Looking at the water
Through the spaces of an iron-ore train
The water eddies 'round the rushes
And Eddie's round at my house, insane.
The breakers in the distance
Cut the air Iike the crackle of a CB rig.
They found a crack in Eddie
And they tore it down, and snapped him like a twig.
His head is full of Goose Green
Tastes the smoke from the damp grass, well alight
And Eddie's waiting for the choppers
And he goes on waiting long into the night.
And I thought I heard a voice
Didn't someone here just whisper, "Réjoice".
The harbour's filled with newsmen,
Little boats go bobbing, like a Dunkirk repeat
To a train ride and a welcome
And "Well done, Eddie" right across the street.
The water's grey and choppy
On the Lake out by the fairground big wheel.
We could circle it forever
(Deana Carter)
Eddie's got a way of looking at the world through rose-colored glasses
He's got a little of the Midas touch when it comes to mystery
Never ever gonna show his cards, that's just the way things are
And I won't let go of Eddie for anything
I met him at the 76 on my way to California
I was paying for my lottery ticket and a can of ice-cold beer
He was out of cigarettes, now we're calling off all bets
And I won't let go of Eddie for anything
I've got this feeling
I've got a real good feeling
Eddie's gonna get that jog in South Calabasas
We'll skinny dip in Silver Lake and make love all afternoon
We might have to share one car, but that's just the way things are
And I won't let go of Eddie for anything
Dr. Everett v. Scott:
From the day he was born
He was trouble
He was the thorn
In his mother's side
She tried in vain
Criminologist: But he never caused her nothing but shame
Dr. Everett v. Scott: He left home the day she died
From the day she was gone
All he wanted
Was rock and roll porn
And a motorbike
Shooting up junk
Criminologist: He was a low down cheap little punk
Dr. Everett v. Scott: Taking everyone for a ride
Chorus:
When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy
You knew he was a no good kid
But when he threatened your life
With a switch blade knife
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: What a guy
Janet Weiss: Makes you cry
Dr. Everett v. Scott: And I did
Columbia:
Everybody shoved him
I very nearly loved him
I said hey listen to me
Stay sane inside insanity
But he locked the door
And threw away the key
Dr. Everett v. Scott: But he must've been drawn
Into something
Making him warn me
In a note which reads
Chorus: What's it say? What's it say?
Eddie:
I'm out of my head
Oh hurry, or I may be dead
They mustn't carry out their evil deeds
Chorus:
When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy
You knew he was a no good kid

Chorus Hey hey hey
Dr. Everett v. Scott And I did
Reach out for me before the night falls
The coast is clear, the sound is strong
You might think I'd turn you down, but I'm not gonna
I've packed our things, the road is long
So wipe your tears, it's our departure
Now hold my seat and hear my song
The trick is to play God and act straight human
And to accept the pack of wolves where you belong
The hand that caused you pain
The brain behind the bad things in your life
The anger in your eyes
The boredom and the panic in your strife
It's not to late to pick another
We're not to old for childish games
But we've crossed that line, we should be fathers
We don't raise kids, but we dream their names
Write lullabies for day dream infants
sung by citizens too bored to die
We're locked up good in cotton cages
We can't face the truth, so we live a lie
The hand that caused you pain
The brain behind the bad things in your life
The anger in your eyes
