Kell Brook has said he rejected a fight with Timothy Bradley in favour of earning mandatory status with the IBF.
Hearn added: "Top Rank contacted me in August and made us an offer for the Bradley fight. It was a nice ego boost for Kell to be offered a fight of such magnitude but we begun this journey with a goal of becoming a mandatory challenger and now we are just one win away." Brook takes on Saldivia as the headline act of Betfair's 'This Is It' show at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, live on Sky Sports HD.
