Khan v Brook - weight clause agreed at 147lbs

[TitoFan]

I'm happy to see both these guys edge closer to a long-awaited meeting. Some may say it's too late.... I don't subscribe to that theory. Neither of them is old nor washed up. Just slightly damaged from ill-fated attempts to fight true middleweights.



Still, happy to see it. I'd favor and root for Brook.

But good on Khan for talking about rehydration limits. Ten pounds sounds a bit limiting, but I'm glad to hear a boxer..... ANY boxer..... talking about something that is truly a sham in professional boxing.

Imagine.... if boxing had a 10-pound rehydration limit, guys like JCC Jr. and Canelo would've never had a successful boxing career. Well..... Canelo anyway.

Do you take medication for this?

Was it the last statement that you liked? I'll be sure and @mention you next time.... make it easier to find.

Khan will get knocked out again. Brook can punch and Khan is damaged goods. Brook has been damaged too, but surely Khan has brain damage as well as seen with his recent tranny behavior. The British Dela Hoya in waiting. He will retire and promote Prince Harry or Ed Sheeran or someone like that. Totally lost it and he had a desperately low IQ to begin with. Will be a fun few rounds though. He always starts fast then gets knocked out badly.

I'd have had Khan to win this on points if it was 6-7 years ago and win easily.
On the back of his last showing Brook will just walk through him then put him to sleep.

I was about to say the same.

Brook puts Khan to sleep. I'll be very surprised with any other result.

Even Khans footwork seemed sluggish against Vargas.

Hope you understand I don’t say it in a negative way, just teasing. We all have our things and it’s just fun to acknowledge and tease our preconceptions. Meant purely friendly

No worries bro. If put on a polygraph and asked if I have anything against Canelo, I'd say "no" and promptly short circuit the machine.

Still.... it's not entirely a P.R.-Mexican thing. I was a huge fan of both JMM and MAB, two class acts (in my estimation).

So the real reason why Khan v Brook is happening is because Manny Pac has chosen Broner as his next opponent.

Khan is ever the bridesmaid.

Amir Khan claims he is close to Terence Crawford title fight, putting Kell Brook plans on backburner

Amir Khan is ready to sign a deal to fight WBO welterweight world champion Terence Crawford – a move which will jeopardise the possibility of a British showdown with long-term rival Kell Brook.

Khan and Brook, who are both signed to Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, have long been locked in talks over a grudge match in 2019, with a deal between the pair seemingly closer than ever.

Brook must first overcome Michael Zerafa on Saturday night in his second clash since a pair of devastating defeats. He was stopped during a unified middleweight world title fight with Gennady Golovkin in September 2016, before suffering a similar fate at the hands of Errol Spence Jr a year later.

Sky Sports invited Khan to make an appearance in Sheffield in anticipation of Brook beating Zerafa to publicly accelerate talks and interest in the bout, but he declined and has now warned that time is running out for his rival.

“If I fight for a title in the welterweight division with Crawford, that could be a future fight, so you never know,” he told The Independent.

“We’ve had big names on the list. Something is going to be announced within a week, I’ve given everyone deadlines because I need to keep busy. Being out of the ring is not fair on me when I have other options out there.”

“We’re looking at the Brook fight and it’s a big fight as well, probably one of the biggest in my career. We’re looking at Wembley Stadium, maybe Manchester or Birmingham, but I think Wembley would be the ideal location for me. Watching Anthony Joshua fight there…having 90,000 people would be awesome.”

Khan acknowledges that he is now entering the final years of his career and has admitted that he is torn between gifting British boxing fans a fight they have long been demanding – along with a potentially more lucrative purse – or fighting pound-for-pound star Crawford for another shot at the world title.

“This fight would generate in the twenties of millions, it's a big fight if we can sell out Wembley stadium,” he said of a potential meeting with Brook.

“The fight has been talked about for so many years and we can sell Wembley, or maybe do 70,000 which is a lot of money just from the gate alone. Then you've got the pay-per-view market which will be big because recently they've been hitting it on the big fights, so we may get one million buys. I think it is more about a legacy to us. This is a fight that can cement our legacy and show who the best is in our division.



“There are other big options and maybe it came to a stage where I thought the big fights for me are gone, but they’re not. I’ve been offered another big deal with good money to fight against a tougher fighter and a bigger name than Kell Brook, which I was surprised at. I have to look at all avenues. If this makes more sense for me, I’ll take that one, but the British crowd will be upset.”

Any future fight rests on whether Brook can beat Zerafa on Saturday, with Khan admitted he will take time out from his 32nd birthday celebrations to cheer on his nemesis.

​Move on Kel, Khan knows he is chinny and weaker than you. The only way Khan ever gets in a ring with Brook will be in his last cash out fight.
