Kell Brook is apparently heading back to the welterweight division.
Last year, Brook moved up to the junior middleweight division after claiming to have weight struggles to continue forward at 147-pounds.
He's been out of the ring since a much tougher than expected decision win over junior middleweight Michael Zerafa of Australia. It was Khan's first bout without longtime trainer Domonic Ingle. Since then, Brook and Ingle have reunited.
Brook wants to take a stay busy fight before the end of the year, and then he wants to go after the bigger names at the welterweight limit - like WBO world champion Terence Crawford, Shawn Porter, IBF champion Errol Spence, and domestic rival Amir Khan.
Brook has a close points win over Porter, but he was stopped back in 2017 at the hands of Spence. There were rumors of a clash with Crawford earlier this year, and the biggest money fight, by far, would be Khan.
"Straightaway after this fight, early next year I'll be looking at those top names, Crawford, Porter, Spence, my friend Mr Khan," Brook told Sky Sports.
There were rumors that Brook was mulling the idea of retirement - which the fighter and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, fully deny.
"Kell Brook has got the appetite back again," Hearn told Sky Sports.
"I think with Kell it has always been about desire and dedication and when that's on, I think he's one of the best welterweights in the world.

"There seems to be a lot of fighters tied up. Errol Spence fighting Danny Garcia and maybe Mikey Garcia fighting Manny Pacquiao and so forth, so it makes it even more enticing for a potential Amir Khan fight. But Kell's mentality is, 'I'm here now, I'm fit, my mind is in a good place, my body is in a good place, sling me in, sling me in with the big boys'."
