After reading in the papers that Amir is set for a bout against Julio Diaz in Sheffield on 27th April, i was wondering if there is any chance of Alexander-Brook ending up on this? Johnny Nelson and a few others have hinted big news is in the pipeline regarding Kell and with Golden Boy and Sky involved with this show it surely makes sense. Sheffield is a notoriously hard sell and Khan has found it hard work before, even in the Manchester Arena which is close to his home. Alexander-Brook would fill it.

I would have thought so. His last one was. McDonnell sells a few but it will still be half empty.

Can't see it mickey. The speculation around Kell seems to be 18 May in Washington.

Do you think Sky will show it?

So I have read. It just seems ridiculous that Golden Boy are promoting in his home town a few weeks before and putting it on. They must be desperate to keep home advantage. In that case, I would worry about Brook if it goes to the cards.

Khan vs Diaz is trash.

awfull fight for amir khan

very poor match up

they must have been stuck to get an opponent

Breidis Prescott would love to come back to England and box Khan again - any chance of that happening?

What about a triple header Sky box office?

Khan v Diaz
Alexander v brook
Murray v Martinez?

Murray on allegedly for a start. Brook wont be that date they saying

Brook v alexander is supposed to be on the may 18th card with Peterson v matassyee (sp?) in Washington

Wow thats a wait for Kell.

This shows where Khan is at moving up to welter. Let's hope Horse's p4p ratings are adjusted accordingly.

Don't give them any ideas.

I would pay for it. It would be a great night in Sheffield if Brook was on the bill. I love a Brit fighting for a 'real' world title at home, there is something special about it.

Diaz is an awful fight.

Though Matthysse v Peterson should be a top fight.With the winner facing Danny Garcia.

Anyone how know much it was for Kells last fight there ?

I deleted the Khan v Molina program from my Sky box before I'd had chance to watch Diaz v Crawford.

I've always been a fan of Diaz and assumed he must have boxed very well to earn a draw in that fight, as Crawford seemed to be on the rise.

Khan v Diaz is not an especially good fight for the fans but surely not a terrible one? I sometimes get the impression that if Khan is not lined up to face a banger then a disproportionate amount of whinging ensues.. I could be wrong.

I`m sure it was about £60 for floor seating for the Brook -Hatton fight,those prices are outragous

It's an OK fight. But not a bill topper in a different county to Khan's home, at World Tiltle prices.
