Amir Khan is irritated with some of the recent comments from his domestic rival, IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook, who is demanding the two of them fight in the summer.
The champion's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has applied the pressure by reserving Wembley Stadium for the fight. Brook is going to make the first defense of his world title in March.
Khan has continued to explain his position, that he wants to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao - and then maybe after one of those fights he will consider Brook.
“I could make money out of fighting Kell Brook but it’s not about the money for me. But Kell Brook is not in my sights at the moment. Eddie Hearn booking Wembley is a bit silly - he is going to lose his money. I don’t know if he has actually done that. With Kell Brook it is personal now. I was respectful with him but he is taking it to a different level. When he beat Shawn Porter I was respectful and said he did well. Now he is calling me out. I know the fight will happen one day but I want the big names first,” Khan told Bolton News.
