Nottingham's Carl Froch is advising Amir Khan to pack his bags and travel over to the UK for a future showdown with IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook.
Brook's promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport, had to tried to set down a June clash with Khan at Wembley - but Khan was unable to fight on the date due to Ramadan. Khan will instead return on May 30th with former WBO 140-pound champion Chris Algieri mentioned as the opponent. Brook is also returning on the same date, against domestic fighter Frankie Gavin.
If both comes away with the wins, Froch feels Khan should come over and face Brook. It should be noted that Froch has never been that friendly with Khan and he also shares the same promoter as Brook.
"Amir Khan is not world champion so he should be coming here to fight Kell Brook for the title. It’s a fight everyone wants to see, but Khan thinks he’s too big. I don’t know how he can think that Kell isn’t big enough for him when Kell’s done everything that has been asked of him as a world champion. I’m not digging Khan out but when he steps up to that top level he’s been beaten a few times. That’s why he should come over here and fight Kell Brook,” Froch told Zoo Today.
