Kell Brook: Fighting Khan Means More Than Winning Another Title
Posted: 22 Feb 2018, 15:39
A long-discussed domestic meeting with Khan is the big fight Brook seeks, though, even more than a title shot at 154 pounds.
“That’s a very hard one,” Brook told The Star for a story that appeared on its website Thursday. “I think I have to say, right now, it would be Khan. That would be the more exciting of the two. Also, it’s probably easier winning a world title than it is to get him to sign a contract.”
Brook just hopes he can fight Khan while both boxers remain in their physical primes. Khan and Brook are the same age (31).
“I want to get round the table with him and get it done,” said Brook, who has been stopped by Gennady Golovkin and Errol Spence Jr. in his past two fights. “I have been a world champion and loved it, but the buzz of fighting Khan would be beyond even that. Everybody would want to see that fight. I just hope we can do it. We are not getting any younger.”
