Kell Brook: It Makes No Sense, Algieri Brings Nothing!

•Apr 3, 2015

IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook says he is frustrated that a fight with domestic rival Amir Khan has not been made. Sheffield's Brook retained his world strap with a four-round destruction of Jo Jo Dan a week ago and immediately called out regular verbal sparring partner Khan. The two have spent the week trading barbs - with Brook offering a June 13 date at Wembley for an all-British bout - but Khan made it clear he was going his own way when announcing his next opponent on Thursday.

Khan, who plans to return in late May, will not face Brook in June but hopes to fight him within a year's time. Khan is so confident of victory that he wants to do a "winner takes all" agreement for Wembley.

Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield - This past Saturday night, IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (34-0, 23KOs) made the first defense of his title and crushed mandatory challenger Jo Jo Dan (34-3, 18KOs) in four rounds. It was an unexpected one-sided contest where Brook simply overwhelmed Dan and dropped him four times before the fight was waved. Afterwards he called for an immediate fight on June 13th in Wembley with domestic rival Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs), who already passed on the fight and plans to return at the end of May. Brook is claiming that Khan is avoiding the fight because he fears his chin will be exposed against a heavy puncher.
