Frankie Gavin (right) is set to be handed a shot at Kell Brook’s IBF welterweight world title at The O2 on May 30 . Sportsmail understands an announcement on the fight could be made as early as Friday . Eddie Hearn, who promotes both men, told Sportsmail on Tuesday that Gavin was under ‘strong consideration’. And Gavin said on Wednesday: ‘Nothing is signed or done yet but I know Eddie's spoken to Kell and Kell's up for it and I'm up for it. So we're going to sit down and have another chat in the next two days and hopefully get it done. ‘I think I've got the skills to upset Brook and take him out of his rhythm. It's easier said than done but I'm going to be 100 per cent ready, physically and mentally, and if I get that world title shot I'll be ready.’ Amir Khan hits Devon Alexander during their welterweight bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena  in Las Vegas . Brook hopes to finally face Amir Khan next year having failed to lure him into a Wembley blockbuster this summer. Gavin, who has held the British and Commonwealth welterweight belts, has climbed to No 5 in the IBF rankings, though he has not fought at Brook's level. Gavin, 29, added: ‘I'm not stupid. I'm not delusional. I'm going to have to perform out of my skin. But I've definitely got it in me to do it. I'm very confident Kell can be beaten and hopefully it's someone with my skills who will do it.’ Brook is desperate to fight Khan but his fellow Brit rejected the chance to face him at Wembley in June .
