British former world champion Kell Brook will return to the ring after a three-year absence against Eisa Al Dah at the 15,000-capacity Dubai Media City on February 13, 2026 at a special event featuring tributes to the recently deceased legendary former British world champion Ricky "The Itman" Hatton and the Ricky Hatton Foundation.
Boxers from the UAE will face off against boxers from Manchester, UK, as well as celebrity guests.
Brook retired in 2022 following his victory over Amir Khan after 43 professional fights, of which he won 40. His only three defeats came against Gennady Golovkin, Errol Spence Jr., and Terence Crawford, and there were rumors that he might even make a run at bare-knuckle boxing.
