Sheffield fighter Kell Brook has challenged Amir Khan to step up to welterweight after a row between the pair on social networking site Twitter.

Kell Brook woke up on Sunday with a great feeling after dominating a former world champion over the full twelve rounds in a similar fashion as WBC light-middleweight champion Saul Alvarez. Brook, 24, almost became the first man to stop Lovemore N’dou in the final round of their Sheffield meeting, but it didn’t seem to impress domestic rival Amir Khan.

Jaded, cynical and hypercritical. HBO Boxing voice Larry Merchant has been called all of those things during his long run on the prime cable network.

Zab Judah: "When I went in against Matthysse, me and my team knew that I was going to beat him. Golden Boy thought I was going to be a stepping stone, so they sacrificed one of their pawns. Now they're going to come back and sacrifice one of their queens. It's check mate baby, you know it is!"

WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan (25-1, 17 KOs) is expecting a very physical fight on July 23 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Khan faces IBF champion Zab Judah (41-6, 28 KOs) in a unification bout. Khan's last fight, a six round technical decision over Paul McCloskey, was missing those fireworks, but Amir doesn't expect the same result in July.

During a recent stop by the H.I.T. Factory Gym right off of the Strip in Las Vegas, IBF junior welterweight champion Zab 'Super' Judah could be found engaging in some brisk sparring sessions with unbeaten lightweight prospect Wanzell Ellison from Newark, New Jersey. Judah is gearing up for another pivotal fight in his career, a July 23rd meeting with Amir Khan at the Mandalay Bay, and he is primed and focused with a little over a month remaining.

Trainer Freddie Roach is not expecting a long fight when Amir Khan (25-1, 17 KOs) faces Zab Judah (41-6, 28 KOs) in a junior welterweight unification bout on July 23 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Judah is the most experienced opponent of Khan's career and a two division champion, but Roach expects Khan to put on one of the best performances of his career by stopping Judah in the early rounds of the fight.

Amir Khan says he wants to challenge the winner of the Victor Ortiz and Floyd Mayweather fight in the UK.

MANILA—Undefeated Filipino southpaw Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta (21-0-1, 11 KOs) has been sparring with WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan and has looked good.

WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan is supporting countryman David Haye to end the rule of the Klitschko brothers. Haye places his WBA title at stake in a unification bout with WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko on July 2 in Hamburg. Khan feels Haye is capable of knocking out either brother, Wladimir or older brother and WBC champion Vitali Klitschko.
