Jack Johnson Jersey . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No.Kell Brook will take inspiration from Muhammad Alis defeat of Sonny Liston when he begins boxings most intimidating challenge.The 30-year-old will step up to the middleweight division for the first time and attempt to overcome the undefeated IBF, WBC and WBA champion Gennady Golovkin Saturday.Brook remains the significant underdog for the fight at Londons O2 Arena, but will evoke the spirit of Ali to prepare him for the devastating puncher from Kazakhstan.Brook fondly spoke of Alis 1964 fight with the then-mighty world heavyweight champion Liston, whose menace Ali -- then known as Cassius Clay -- used to his advantage to score one of the finest victories of his career.When my backs against the wall, I always perform, said Brook, the reigning IBF welterweight champion. Im meant to perform at the highest level.The best comes out of me when my backs against the wall; when Im under that pressure. When I watched Ali when he boxed Sonny Liston: he pulled a gun out on him to scare him.[Hed lose in] one or two rounds, people were saying. He went out there and he shocked the world, and said that it was a blessing; he was so thankful Sonny Liston did that because hed never been as frightened and scared in his life.Im feeling on edge for this fight, but its only going to make me sharper on the night.In addition to his underdog attitude, Broook has kept his distance from Golovkin to maintain his coldness towards him.ddddddddddddHe has spent numerous hours in the company of a charming fighter as popular for his baby-faced appearance, smile and good manners as his exciting style.

Its a sport; I dont like getting comfortable with who Im fighting, because if he ends up being nice, it doesnt feel as good as punching him, so its better to keep business as business.You get that gist from him, that hes very respectful. Theres not been any trash talking in this fight; weve both got a lot of respect for each other. He knows hes in one hell of a fight.Its just been business, promoting this fight. Ive never been comfortable being around who Im fighting. I prefer to be out of the room, because theres an atmosphere. I prefer to be with my team instead of mingling with the other fighter. It just doesnt happen.I dont get involved in all the [television programme] Behind The Ropes and Ive not watched Golovkin training, and his fights, because you end up getting involved in this hype.
