JO JO DAN has warned Kell Brook he wants a piece of the action.

The Romanian-born welterweight takes on Britain's IBF champion in Sheffield on Saturday night.

Brook is the red-hot favourite to win his first defence of the title with Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan being talked about as potential future opponents.

But Dan, 33, wants to cause an upset and land his own big money scrap.

He said: "It is not my problem if he overlooks me. He is talking about the big fights then he is overlooking me.

"For me I don't overlook anything. It is boxing and anything can happen in boxing.

"I'm confident so it doesn't matter if he is overlooking me or not. I'm only concentrating on Kell Brook. I don't make plans for my next fight. We will see what happens.

"But if I win the world title here the sky is the limit, the sky is the limit."

Dan - who has lost just two of his 36 fights - moved to Canada in 2003 to turn professional after a solid amateur career.

The last Romanian based in Canada to come to these shores for a world title fight was Lucian Bute when he lost his IBF super-middleweight crown to Carl Froch inside five rounds in 2012.

Bute admitted he was blown away by the hostile atmosphere that night in Nottingham and Dan can expect a similar reception in the Steel City.

He added: "I'm prepared. The fans do not matter. I have travelled everywhere in the world.

"This is my job. I will not struggle with the crowd, I've fought everywhere.

"I did speak to Lucian about it and he told me some things.

"But I don't know about Bute, I can talk about me. I'm confident and I'm ready. We will see what is going to happen."
