Kell Brook: record, next fight and profile →
Amir Khan expects to see Kell Brook in the ring Saturday night after he defeats Samuel Vargas. Khan doesn’t sound as if he anticipates encountering Brook in the ring again for his next fight. The former IBF/WBA junior welterweight champion doesn’t think Brook can comfortably make 154 pounds at this point, let alone the welterweight limit at which Khan contends their much-discussed domestic showdown must take place.
Should Amir Khan (32-4, 20 KOs) defeat Samuel Vargas this weekend as expected, there will be plenty of speculation over who he will face next. For years, he and Kell Brook have circled one another but have never actually come close to facing one another in the ring.
Things could get very interesting in the coming months, according to promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport. Last month, Hearn held a meeting with members of Manny Pacquiao's team to discuss the possibility of facing Amir Khan at the end of the year. Khan is back in action on Saturday night in Birmingham, and he must walk away with a victory when he faces Samuel Vargas.

Former world champion Amir Khan (32-4, 20 KOs) is aiming for a very impressive outing on September 8th in Birmingham, when the Bolton star faces Samuel Vargas. He hopes the victory will allow him to close out the year with a major scrap against Manny Pacquiao or Kell Brook.
After the success of his promotion at Windsor Park earlier this month Frank Warren says he hopes to put on more outdoor shows at the venue, next year and beyond. On August 18 Carl Frampton realised a lifelong dream by boxing at Windsor Park, in front of 25,000 fans, against Australia’s Luke Jackson. And even after the heavens opened later that night the spirits of his loyal fans could not be dampened as they roared their man on to a dominant performance, ending in a ninth-round stoppage.
