      Im just throwing stuff out there for if hes returning in February. Doubt hes going to go on a UK TV show then go and fight in America. If hes going to be fighting on ITV, every weekends taken by the WBSS, so only the Groves/Eubank Jr card makes sense. Or Warrens going to do something with him, maybe Skeete is a possibilty

        Frankie Gavin or that Mohamed guy with the euro title would be the perfect tuneups fight for him.

        He could also give Andre Berto a call. That would be a really good one.

        But we all know Khan makes weird ****in decisions.

          Yep, Dennis claimed there was a fight set for Feb. Will def be in the UK, likely MEN and he'll probs fight a Brit welter and then hopefully get back into the mix.

          It's weird how many gaps he has had in his career over the last 4ish years and still manages to look world class at times.

            Do you really follow boxing? Fighters blow up between fights and when they're not in camp. Khan isn't even the worst case of this.

            Have you even seen the triple chin Kell Brook has developed? That wrong 'un blows up to the point he looks like present day Humpty Dumpty Prince Naseem Hamed.

              Nope. No chance. His frame has clearly outgrown 140lbs. 147lbs is about as low as he can go now by the looks of it.

                No chance he's giving Frankie Gavin a shot. He's Kell Brooks leftovers from his bum destroying days and the feud between both fighters is at that level. They really are petty towards each other and will make issue of such things for the sake of of trolling. Moreso on the part of Brook and Matchroom. So that's a no go.

                Andre Berto did an interview once saying he wouldn't fight Khan since they're good friends. Pretty sure they're both at a difficult stage of their careers and wouldn't want to put the nail in each others coffins so to speak. That's a no go too.

                Warren won't risk Skeete since he's climbed to the top of the domestic welterweights and will wait for a title shot.

                I'm going to guess it's going to be a slightly worn out southpaw that's ranked decently. Possibly Antonio DeMarco, Barrionuevo or Sammy Vasquez. All respectable opponents who are well ranked southpaws who have also faced some decent names.

Turned out to be full of laughs mainly because of Khan. He'd say and do the dumbest shėt and get away with murder but was hilarious to watch. Also noticed he looked like he shed a shėtload of weight and turns out I was right. He just uploaded a picture on Twitter with the caption and hashtag #147...

                  Before the jungle...



                  After the jungle...



                  There was also a leak from one of the other contestants that they'll be attending a Khan fight in February.

                  So 147lb for Khan back in February. Is he aiming for Horn which would explain the stint in the Jungle in Australia? Or is he aiming for tune-ups after tune-up until a cash out with Brook?
                  What do expect he had to live off rice and beans for 23 days, it seems he lost more muscle on his arms as well. He wont have much pop on his shots, he built up all that muscle only to lose it in 23 days.

                    Yep quite a lot of muscle mass gone. Nothing that can't be regained with a decent camp. More importantly though the camp should be easier since it's not going to be a weight loss camp. Also...he never really had decent pop on his shots LOL!

                    Nah. Kidding kids got enough power to keep someone honest at 147lb but nothing spectacular when you've got monsters like Thurman, Spence, Porter etc ruling the roost at 147lb.

                      Agreed.

                      140lbs is still the best weight for him and where he truly looked World Class.

                      Even in his defeat to Garcia, he was beating the S H I T out of him until he caught.
