Kell Brook issued his response to Amir Khan’s decision to sign a three-fight deal with Matchroom. ‘The Special One’ is the long-time nemesis of ‘King Khan’ and Khan’s move sees them for the first time on the same stable.
Kell Brook has warned his rival, that the time is now to make the fight and the battle has to take place during this year.
“We need to agree on a fight this year because I don’t know if I will be boxing into next year if I am honest,” Brook exclusively told Sky Sports.
“I really do mean it. I am not getting any younger. I want a great year this year, no messing around, no play-time, I want big fights under my belt.”
“I don’t want to be talking this nonsense with Khan, him saying he wants it next year or whenever. It’s got to happen pretty soon or I am done.”
“I would just love to test myself against him. It will probably bring the best out of him and we will give something back to the fans for helping us throughout our careers.”
“He hasn’t boxed for a long time and Matchroom make things happen and make big fights in Britain, so I wasn’t at all shocked,” Brook said.
“It is a bit strange but that’s where it will end. We have got the same promoter and that’s it.”
“Now he fights for Matchroom, finally, we will see me and him in the ring.”
“It’s very possible, I will be ringside. He was in Sheffield for one of my fights, so I could well be there, now we’re both Matchroom.
NOW OR NEVER KHAN! @SpecialKBrook wants his new @MatchroomBoxing colleague @amirkingkhan before the end of 2018…

“The fireworks could start. I might turn up for that, I might even jump in the ring and lay a chocolate brownie on him,” Brook jokingly shared.
“No strawberries… chocolate brownies only,” Brook concluded.
