Kell Brook barely breaks a sweat on his return to action as he stops opponent early

What a relief that must be.

For the first time in almost two years, Kell Brook came through a fight without a devastating injury to his eye. Having put together a flawless 36-0 record, Brook moved up to middleweight in 2016 to take on pound-for-pound great Gennady Golovkin but the Sheffield fighter was pulled out of the contest before the midway point of the fight, having suffered a broken orbital bone. Brook's next outing, at welterweight, saw his other eye battered by Errol Spence Jr, who has since gone on to prove himself a real talent. https://twitter.com/SkySportsBoxing/status/970058803235340288 But there was no such injury drama on Saturday night, as 'The Special One' returned to the win column in his native Steel City and claimed the 26th knockout of his career without breaking a sweat. Looking composed and healthy at 154lbs, Brook stopped opponent Sergey Rabchenko in the second round of their main event clash and left the ring without a mark on him. Brook showed no sign of any early nerves as he took the centre of the ring and was first to every punch in the first round. https://twitter.com/theboxingp/status/970061745107726336 Brook's last win came in the second round and the 31-year-old ended things in the second frame yet again this weekend as one inch-perfect right hand to the temple sent Rabchenko to the canvas and after the Belarusian returned to his feet on wobbly legs, the referee had seen enough. Brook claimed the vacant WBC Silver super-welterweight title with the knockout and proved that there remains plenty of fight in the old dog yet. "You thought you got rid of me. I'm putting everyone on notice. I'm a terminator and I'll be back," Brook said after his win. "I'm back now and after another win, I'm putting everyone on notice. I love this sport."
