Amir Khan: record, next fight and profile →
Former world champion Amir Khan has joined the fight, as many struggle in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Khan has pledged to give his £5 million wedding venue in Bolton to the NHS to help those affected by COVID-19.
Former world champion Amir Khan is still putting together his plans fir the future. Khan, 33-years-old, has been out of the ring since July of 2019, when he stopped late replacement Billy Dib in Saudi Arabia. He wants to continue his career in the welterweight division and currently there are no plans to move up in weight.
At the moment, it appears that Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will collide in a trilogy fight in the summer. They first met in December of 2018, with the contest ending in a controversial twelve round split draw at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Former world champion Amir Khan has tabbed WBC world champion Tyson Fury to defeat WBO, IBO, WBA, IBF champion Anthony Joshua, if the two British heavyweights ever collided in a unification.
Former world champion Kell Brook is not even thinking about his domestic rival, Amir Khan. The fight has been mentioned for several years, but a deal was never close to being finalized. Last year, when promoter Eddie Hearn was working with both boxers, he tried his best to get them in the ring - with Khan going in another direction by challenging WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford in the United States.
Kell Brook’s message was clear in the post-fight press conference after the Super Welterweight returned to action from a 14-month lay-off to beat Mark DeLuca with a seventh round stoppage in Sheffield on Saturday night. The former IBF Welterweight world champion, now 33, who is being linked with a fight against Matchroom stablemate Liam Smith, picked up the vacant WBO Inter-Continental Super Welterweight strap with win number 39 from 41.. The WBO currently has Liam Smith as their number two contender and Brook will now move into the top 15 when the next set of ratings are published.
Dominic Ingle, the head trainer for former IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook, is hoping that his boxer will finally face career rival Amir Khan in 2020. Brook is returning to the ring on February 8th in Sheffield, when he faces Mark DeLuca of the United States. The contest will be the first for Brook since winning a tougher than expected decision over Michael Zerafa in December 2018.
Bolton star Amir Khan is convinced that he was avoided for several years by retired five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. A fight between Khan and Mayweather had been discussed numerous times, but it never came off. Mayweather retired back in September of 2015, when he dominated Andre Berto over twelve rounds. Khan was reportedly in the running for that fight, but he was passed over.
Former IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook is very eager to capture another world title, this time at junior middleweight. Brook returns against Mark DeLuca in the main event of a card being staged in Sheffield on February 8. Sky Sport and DAZN will carry the card. The return will mark Brook's first bout since December of 2018.
Kell Brook is not holding his breath on a future fight with domestic rival Amir Khan. Brook will return to the ring against Mark DeLuca at Sheffield Arena on February 8. The bout will be Brook's first bout since December 2018. Khan had recently mentioned Brook as a potential opponent for 2020.
