Amir Khan is aiming to laugh in the face of domestic rival Kell Brook by putting on a show in his backyard.

Brook will fight Devon Alexander for the IBF title in May while Khan is returning to England for the first time in two years to take on Julio Diaz on April 27. That he has chosen to do so in Brook's home city of Sheffield has only served to add extra spice to their rivalry, although Khan is adamant he has plenty to occupy him in the light-welterweight division for now.
