    AmirKhanKellBrookWe are only a few days removed from Kell Brook’s surprising upset victory over former IBF Welterweight Champion Shawn Porter and boxing fans are now eagerly awaiting his next move.

    Brook shook up the boxing world last Saturday and threw a monkey wrench in a lot of people’s plans.

    Before this fight took place, we were hearing about a lot of intriguing, potential lucrative matchups that could be made between many of the top welterweights in the division. Kell Brook’s name was not included in the discussion. All of that changed last Saturday.

    After beating Porter, Brook did something that few fighters seem to do nowadays and that’s call out the best fighters in the division. He mentioned names like Keith Thurman, Manny Pacquiao, and Floyd Mayweather. One name that was also mentioned who some may not think is on the same level as the aforementioned fighters is Amir Khan.

    This fight has been talked about and brought up on more than one occasion but for whatever reason never seemed to materialize. “Listen, the British public want to see it,” Brook told Sky Sports.

    “He will probably start saying something else now, that I need to win another world title. But believe me ‘Queen’ Khan is getting it. He’s been putting things on Twitter, bless him, and he’s been putting in ‘best of luck’, but I know he doesn’t like me.

    “The fact is he is going to get it. I know he’s back there in the studio watching: listen, you’re getting it next boy. I am the champion of the world.”

    Khan is tentatively scheduled to return to the ring in early December and names like Devon Alexander and Robert Guerrero have been mentioned as possible opponents, but Khan didn’t rule out a future fight with Brook.

    “A fight with Kell Brook will be massive in the UK and I am not saying no. Kell thought I would say no to that fight but I am agreeing to it,” he said.

    “I will take the fight… with both hands. I am a young fighter. I love boxing and I want to give the British fans what they want and come on, let’s get it on!”

    “I love these big fights. I know what it’s like to have tasted them and what it’s going to be like at Wembley. It would be amazing if we got it there in the UK but, it’s up to my team.

    “But look I am ready.”
