Kell Brook is on collision course with Errol Spence Jr. after deciding to stay at welterweight.The Briton contemplated stepping up to light-middleweight after jumping two weight divisions to challenge world middleweight No. 1 Gennady Golovkin in September.Brook (36-1, 25 KOs), 30, was stopped in five rounds by Golovkin but will remain IBF world welterweight champion after discussing his options with promoter Eddie Hearn.Brook is recovering from surgery on a broken eye socket, sustained against Golovkin, and must face unbeaten American Spence (21-0, 18 KOs), the mandatory challenger for his IBF belt in his next fight likely to be spring next year.I had a meeting with Eddie and told him I am not prepared to give up my title, said Brook.I know there are options at 154 pounds and I may even be more suited there but I am not willing to give up what I fought so hard for. I want the unification fights but if they arent there then it will be Spence next for me in a big UK show.Brook won the belt from Shawn Porter on points in 2014 and then had three low-profile stoppage defences before his biggest payday against Golovkin.The British boxer has also said he is interested in facing Filipino Manny Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs), who reclaimed his WBO version of the world title last weekend, and there is big interest in the UK to see him fight compatriot and welterweight rival Amir Khan (31-4, 19 KOs).I spoke through various options with Kell and he was adamant that he would not relinquish his welterweight world title, said Hearn.In an ideal world, he would unify the division against Manny Pacquiao but the Spence fight is also one that really excites him and fight fans. That could be a big fight here in the UK and with the 75-25 split in place we would be very confident of bringing that fight to Sheffield.DJ Moore Panthers Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.

Play was stopped for almost two minutes during the second half of Sundays match when visiting Roma supporters would not stop abusing Milan players Mario Balotelli and Kevin-Prince Boateng, who are black. Warnings issued over the stadium speaker system went unheeded, leading to a Serie A match being suspended due to racism for the first time. "Small fines for racist abuse (are) unacceptable," Blatter wrote Tuesday on Twitter. Blatters willingness to tackle racism in football was previously questioned, and he was forced to apologize in 2011 for saying incidents between players on the field should be settled by a handshake. But Blatter has put renewed vigour into the fight against racism since Boateng led his teammates off the field when he was racially abused during a friendly against an Italian fourth-tier team in January. "What is surprising and is not understandable for me, is that the disciplinary committee of the Italian Football Federation has taken a decision, not even 24 hours after the event, by just imposing a fine," Blatter said Tuesday on FIFAs website. "They have not made any investigation of what happened. And just to give a pecuniary sanction is not valid, that is not acceptable. You will always find money. "What is 50,000 euros for such an incidennt? Im not happy and I will call the Italian federation.dddddddddddd Thats not a way to deal with such matters." The Boateng incident in January following a spate of racial-abuse cases in England prompted Blatter to establish a task force to propose stricter sanctions. In plans being presented to the FIFA Congress later this month, teams face being thrown out of competitions or even relegated if their players, officials or fans are found guilty of any form of discrimination. "In this resolution, there are foreseen sanctions -- and these sanctions must be applied all around the world," Blatter said. "Thats why we need the congress decision. That will bind together all the 209 associations." UEFA, at its congress in London next week, will ask its 53 members to adopt a series of tougher racism sanctions. UEFA wants a partial stadium closure to be imposed on clubs if there is racism in the stands -- rather than just a fine for a racist offence. If there are further incidents, UEFA is advocating clubs being forced to play matches behind closed doors. A 10-game minimum ban for players found guilty of abuse is also being proposed. The English Football Association is looking to push through its own plans for a five-game minimum ban for racist abuse at its annual general meeting this week. In England in recent years, Liverpool striker Luis Suarez received an eight-match ban for racially abusing an opponent and Chelsea captain John Terry was suspended for four matches. ' ' '
