Kell Brook wants Khan at 147

By Daily Sports on October 11, 2017

Former welterweight world champion Kell Brook (36-2, 25 KOs) says he’s going to try and return to the 147-lb. division if his body well let him. Brook, 31, would like to fight Amir Khan if he’s finally ready to make the fight.

Brook fancies his chances of knocking out Khan, who hasn’t fought since he was knocked out by Saul Canelo Alvarez over a year ago on HBO pay-per-view.

Brook is coming off 11th round knockout loss to Errol Spence Jr. on May 27. Brook suffered a broken left eye socket in the fight. This was the second fight in a row that Brook had suffered a fractured eye socket.

In Brook’s 5th round knockout loss to middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin on September 10 last year, Brook’s right eye socket was fractured. He subsequently had surgery to repair the problem. Now that Brook has suffered an identical injury to his left eye from the Spence fight, there are question marks about whether his eyes can hold up to the rigors of a normal fight.

“I have to see if my body can make it,” said Brook at the AppsEmpire event about him wanting to try and return to the welterweight division.

“If I can make it good, welterweight is where the big fights are. There’s really nothing at light middleweight. They’re too big unless we start making catch-weights,” said Brook.

“I could be fighting at the end of the year, but it’s going to be a real push to get me in fighting condition,”said Brook. “I’m looking at early next year to get back out again. I’m looking for a big fight.

When I lost my IBF belt, it really kicked in. To be honest with you, I’ve not been in the gym much. I’ve been feeling sorry for myself. I want to get to beating that queen Khan. We want to make that fight happen. We all want to see it. I want to smash him. Khan, I’m ready to fight you. This year coming up, I’m ready for you. I’m giving some of those chocolate brownies,” said Brook.
