KELL BROOK is adamant he could avenge his defeat against Errol Spence Jr and knock out rival Amir Khan.
Brook suffered a broken orbital bone before Spence, 29, ripped away the Sheffield hero’s IBF welterweight title at Bramall Lane in 2017.

And the 33-year-old – who beat Mark DeLuca in impressive fashion last weekend – claimed if he is fighting at 100 per cent he would dethrone the unified champion in a rematch.
He told Sky Sports: “I know that I was beating him before, I’d get all the positives from it.
“That haunts me, the first fight. It haunts me and I would love the rematch with Errol Spence.
“What I would do differently is I would be 100 per cent in there. There won’t be 60 per cent. I’ll be 100 per cent. It’s infectious the confidence what I’d bring with that.
“I’d feel that I’d be at the weight comfortably, I can go 12 rounds at a hard pace. From round six, I would be able to be strong.
“You know that if you’re not prepared properly, you can only get so much out. I would get everything out and I’d be victorious.”
Brook and British rival Khan, 33, have been circling around each other ever since they turned professional two decades ago.
But after years of failed negotiations, Brook is prepared to leave the would-be fight in the past for good.
The super-welterweight contender reckons Khan is fearful a loss would shatter his legacy, but warned the veteran pair could still produce fireworks in the ring should they finally agree to fight.
Brook said: “I am fed up of hearing Khan, but I think we would all still love to see that fight. It would be realistic for me, but I don’t think he fancies it.
“People say he’s scared, I don’t think he’s scared, because he’s been in with Canelo, he’s been in with these fighters. I think it’s more about his pride, losing to another Brit.
“I understand that, but it’s risk-reward. To be great, you’ve got to do that. We’ve got history. We get asked about fighting every boxing interview we ever have.
“As much as we’ve talked about it, if it was official and we were fighting each other, believe you me, it sets alight petrol.
“All I would do to get rid of him is turn up on that day and I just knock him out. And he will get knocked out. He knows that.
“I think everybody knows as well. If anyone is holding anything up, not me, nor Eddie, him. Him, that’s who it is.”
