Kell Brook-Amir Khan fight proposed for June 4 2016
Eddie Hearn tells John Dennen his plan to stage the big British fight at Wembley stadium
KELL BROOK defending his IBF welterweight title against Amir Khan would be one of the biggest fights of 2016. Eddie Hearn, Brook’s promoter, has pitched a date and venue to Khan’s team.
“We’re talking, I’ve sent through the figures for a proposed bout June 4 at Wembley and I think it will happen,” Hearn told Boxing News earlier. “They know how much money is in the pot. Tell me what you want.”
Khan is on Top Rank’s shortlist to be the opponent for Manny Pacquiao’s final fight so the incentive for Khan is to wait and see what direction Pacquiao chooses to go in.
Brook’s bout with Diego Chaves, scheduled for October 24, was cancelled and is now on hold indefinitely. He has to meet his mandatory challenger, Kevin Bizier, whom he could fight in February. “Kell Brook’s got to fight Kevin Bizier,” Hearn said. “That’s what they have ordered. We don’t want to lose the title. We’ll do everything we can to keep hold of the world title.”
**** Brook. He doesn't deserve a shot at the King. He had a chance to prove himself worthy of a Khan payday and blew it by fighting bums. Brook can't even sell out his home stadium even his own fans have grown tired of his cherry picking.
Khan vs Pacquiao. Failing that he should consider retiring, he's had a great career and there's nothing left for him to do. His career has made him an extremely wealthy man. If he wants to end it on a high then I wouldn't begrudge him fighting Saddam Ali for the wbo belt.
Khan has declared himself the new pound for pound champion in spite of the fact that he is on just about nobody's top ten pound for pound list. He hasn't had a fight since he cherry picked Algieri a long time ago.Khan needs to quit bragging start fighting top 10 welterweights if he wants to be taken seriously.
Khan can honestly have a great 2016 and silence critics.
Beat Pacquiao in April and then Brook later in the year.
there's no chance khan can survive pac.
cool...AK needs a SOLID 2016...ever since Swift caught him he's been too careful with his opponent selection....I became a fan of the AK who would fight ANYBODY...I miss that cat....hopefully he gets back to putting the dudes on notice....Brook can rumble so this should be VERY interesting
Yes, please make this thing so these two can quit talking about each other. I can't see Brook taking the fight though for some reason. Both Khan and Brook have been playing this duck game for the past 2 years and I can maybe see Khan's angle trying to land a big fight but see no reason for Brook to stay on bum street like he has.
If the fight does happen, I still favor Brook to catch Khan and put him away in the mid rounds.

Well, he's not beating Pac. But he can beat Brook if Brook by some miracle,man's up.
