Amir Khan: Brook Fight Will Happen, But Not Right Now

There has been much speculation regarding a potential British superfight between Amir Khan and Sheffield’s Kell Brook, holder of the IBF welterweight title, but the Bolton fighter said that, while he is open to the fight taking place down the line, he is currently focusing on other options.

Khan is willing to face Brook, when the time is right, but not right now. Khan wants to return in a major event and only has two options in mind - WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBO champion Manny Pacquiao.

“The fight can happen and it will be a massive fight in the UK. At the moment we are looking at other names – the likes of Floyd Mayweather. My name is getting mentioned with the likes of Mayweather and Pacquiao, whereas Brook is calling me out, but I want to fight the biggest names in boxing which are those two. So let’s see where we go. The fight can happen one day but not yet,” Khan said.
