Kell Brook to Return in Dubai for Hatton Tribute

Kell Brook, 39, will come out of retirement to fight Eisa Al Dah in Dubai on February 13, 2026, replacing a December bout that had been planned for the late Ricky Hatton. The event, promoted by Agenda Dubai as part of the 'Destiny In The Desert' show at Dubai Media City, will include tributes to Hatton and support the newly formed Ricky Hatton Foundation to raise funds and awareness for mental-health support. Brook last fought — and beat — Amir Khan in February 2022 and formally retired later that year, so the Dubai return will come nearly four years after his last professional bout. Promoters say the card will honor Hatton’s legacy through tributes and fundraising, and Brook, who attended Hatton’s funeral, has publicly spoken about his own mental-health struggles.
