Kell Brook "I Used to Give Khan A Serious Hiding In Sparring, He's Scared Of Me"
Sheffield prospect Kell Brook disputes Khan’s claims of roughing him up in sparring, accusing the WBA light-welterweight champ of running scared from a domestic dust-up.
Amir Khan dismissed an offer to face Brook in his next fight, insinuating on his Twitter page last month that he used to have his way with the welterweight contender in sparring.
But Brook, who has KO’d 16 of his 23 opponents, told the Sheffield Star, ‘When we sparred together as amateurs they had to separate us because I was giving him [Khan] a serious hiding.
‘We were young, in a training camp, and he was heading to the Olympics. But when we got in the ring I pasted him. That's what happened, not the other way round like he's saying.’
Brook also went on to claim that Khan was ‘dodging’ him and lamented the Bolton man’s chin despite his recent heroics against Marcos Maidana.
‘The fact is he is dodging me. I read that Frank Warren offered Amir £1.5m to fight me but it was bigger than that. He doesn't want it – but I'd love the opportunity.
‘He is a nice lad but perhaps over-rated, he is fast but has a rubbish chin,’ said Brook.
