Amir Khan: record, next fight and profile →
Eddie Hearn and Kell Brook are very interested in a high-profile fight against Amir Khan. Even though both British welterweights are coming off knockout defeats, a Brook-Khan clash would do huge business in the United Kingdom. Everyone involved has acknowledged Brook and Khan will make more money for fighting each other than other opponents currently available, particularly in London.
IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) is still undecided on what he intends to do next. Brook is facing a looming deadline to make a mandatory defense against undefeated Olympian Errol Spence (21-0, 18 KOs). The Sheffield fighter has been out of the ring since last September's big showdown with middleweight king Gennady Golovkin. Brook jumped up by two weight divisions to challenge Golovkin for his collection of 160 belts. He performed much better than many had expected, but suffered a fractured orbital bone and was stopped in the fifth round.

The pair met at the recent WBC convention in Florida, and Khan is adamant that a second bout with the unbeaten American would mean big money for both fighters.
Former welterweight champion Shawn Porter would like to get revenge on Kell Brook, who holds the IBF world title. In 2014, Brook traveled over to Los Angeles and won a very closer twelve round decision over Porter to capture the IBF belt. Because of injuries, Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) has only made three defenses since their contest.
