AMIR KHAN will finally take on longtime Brit rival Kell Brook in a huge grudge match next month in Manchester.

Khan and Brook have been touted for a domestic dust-up for years but have never managed to put pen-to-paper on a deal which suited both parties.

Now that both fighters are at the ends of their careers, Khan and Brook have put their egos aside at the negotiating table to give boxing fans what they’ve been after for so long.

Khan hasn’t been in action for over two years, having last beat Billy Dib in a farcical fight back in the summer of 2019.

Before that he lost a world title fight at welterweight against pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford, who he’s know training with in Nebraska ahead of his clash with Brook.

And it was Crawford who Brook last fought in November 2020, when Bud stopped Special K in the fourth round of their Las Vegas match-up.

In a fight which could define both fighters’ careers, Brook and Khan will put it all on the line when they meet in the middle of the ring at the AO Arena in February.

What has been said?

Khan said: “In the past 10 years I have fought two of the best pound-for-pound best fighters.

“I have never run from Kell. I have never needed to. What I have achieved speaks for itself.

“There is no point crying about the past. In the past he hasn’t deserved this fight. Come February 19 it will be time to see if he can back those words up.

“I am coming levels down by taking this fight. I have fought the best in the world. I have conquered America.

“But people want to see me punch him in the face.

“It’s my time now to put him in his place and move onto bigger and better things.”

Brook said: “He’s in cuckoo land.

“You are getting knocked clean out. I will knock you spark out. That’s when Amir Khan will hit the deck for the final time.

“He’s always veered off, never given me respect, never acknowledged me.

“He has said: ‘Win a world title then I will fight you, fight this guy then I will fight you’. He has run away.

“It has got to a part of his career where there is nowhere else for him to run.

“I have wanted it for many years.”
