Amir Khan v Kell Brook - Finally

[X]

Whenever a fighter knows they are in their last fight, they try and convince themelves that its the last time they have to go to training camp, the last time they have to diet, and the last time they have to get punched in the face, and they tell themself that means they will train even harder and dedicate themself even more for their 'last great hurrah'

It doesnt work like that because there are no consequences for losing, their career is not at stake and they are not propelled by fear. They cut the extra 1% of effort and they wont leave it all in the ring on the night.

Ordinarily, i would say that Kham loses the fight and Brook is even more of s favourite now. But Kell knows its his last fight too, he just hasnt said so yet.

Kell Brook confirms rematch clause in grudge bout with bitter rival Amir Khan


Kell Brook has confirmed a rematch clause in the agreement for next month’s grudge bout with bitter rival Amir Khan

Brook and Khan will finally meet in Manchester on February 19, after a career’s worth of dancing around each other amid growing enmity.

The 35-year-old fighters had both harboured thoughts of retirement after this showdown, but any such plans could now be on hold.

Former IBF welterweight champion Brook insisted nothing will settle his feud with Khan, with the pair holding bitter resentment against each other.

Asked about a rematch clause, Brook replied: “I’ll be honest with you, I leave it all to my manager and my team. All I’m interested in is this fight.

“But I do know that there’s going to be a rematch in that. So if Amir Khan wants another beat down, he can have one!”

Asked if a defeat would make him consider his future in boxing, Sheffield fighter Brook continued: “I think some things I said before were taken out of context. A fighter who’s used to winning never has losing in their mind. I don’t think for a second about losing this fight.

“Every single day I’m growing in confidence, what my coach is saying, how I’m looking. Everyone in my camp, they can feel the buzz, the excitement, the body taking shape, my fitness is coming.

“The sharpness, the speed, the accuracy, it’s all coming. I’m not thinking about retirement, I’m thinking about Amir Khan on February 19. I’ve got my mojo back again and I’m really enjoying training; it’s brutal, but I’m loving it.”

Former WBA and IBF light-welterweight champ Khan has not fought since July 2019, while Brook lost to Terence Crawford in November 2020. Brook remains determined to prove himself the superior boxer, insisting he and Khan will never settle their differences.

Brook said: “It’s all animosity on my side and I think it is the same from him. There’s no love lost, we don’t like each other. This isn’t just hype, this is as real as it comes.

“I don’t like him, he doesn’t like me. And I want to punch him hard. He’s never given me any respect, or acknowledged me as a great fighter. I’ve always acknowledged him; I think he’s done great in his career and I’ve never dissed him in that way.

“There’s genuine dislike, I just don’t like his face basically. He puts things out in the media and he puts it all on me. We both know it’s never been me.

“All the years and spite between us, it means everything to both of us. There’s definitely fireworks in this fight, make no mistake.”

Just hope for an early knockout, preferably by Brook, where there will be no need for any rematch.

Last thing we need is another Haye-Bellew 2!

Khan has had a good career, he was a good fighter and definitely brave ....... but he does come across as a complete thick tool.

Brook will end his life feeling a bit shortchanged. he could have been one of the greats but he could never get any decent fights until too late. Fighting Golovkin finished him as a top flight guy and he has an eventful life outside the ring which probably hasn't helped.

Anyone paying for this?
