    Amir Khan vs Kell Brook: UK start time, TV channel, live stream, undercard and weights for MASSIVE grudge match

    THEY have been avoiding each other for years, but Amir Khan is finally down to fight Kell Brook THIS WEEKEND.Khan and Brook have long been touted for a big dust-up but have never managed to put pen-to-paper on a deal.
    How the fighters compare ahead of the huge bout
    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 trained 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 on February 19.

    Who is Amir Khan’s new trainer?
    Khan is hoping he has the secret weapon in his corner to beat Kell Brook in trainer Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre’.
    And the American certainly knows a thing or two about both Brits ahead of their Manchester grudge scrap.
    Back in November 2020 McIntyre guided Crawford to a stunning fourth-round KO of Brook at an empty MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
    And Khan has decided to let bygones be bygones after his own defeat to Crawford in April 2019.
    That ended is somewhat controversial fashion with Khan pulled out by his corner after six rounds.
    Brian McIntyre will be in Khan’s corner
    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.” More

    The 5-0 fighter will also have British boxing legend Ricky Hatton, who he started working with in 2019, in his corner.
    It’s not the first time Nadim has featured on Sky, as he fought Stefan Nicolae on the undercard of Scott Quigg’s clash with Jono Carroll in 2020.
    But Nadim, 22, is buzzing with the fact he can compete on the undercard of his hero Khan’s clash with Brook.
    “I am really excited to fight in a decent arena and on a great card,” he said.
    “Amir Khan has been someone I have looked up to since I was like 11 or 12 years old.
    “It is his boxing style for me. He is always entertaining whether he wins or loses.
    “I think they are both at the stage of their careers, where they are past their best, so I just think it is about who turns up on the night and follows the game plan.
    “Either one of them is going to get stopped, I don’t see it going to points. I am going with Khan.”

    Nadim can count himself lucky he’s got icon Hatton in his corner, but admits he hasn’t seen much of his opponent on Saturday night.
    “I am fighting early on, like last time, but it will still be a good experience even under those circumstances,” he added.
    “I have not seen much of my opponent. We just needed one on short notice, so we took him.
    “He has fought decent boxers. He has only been stopped three times, so he is quite durable.
    “I just want to get as many fights in as I can at this early stage of my career.
    “It would make a great statement if I could stop him.”
    Hatton said of Nadim when they first linked up: “He was a very, very exceptional amateur. He is of a tall and slender nature and has fast hands. He has a massive engine.
    “I don’t want to put any pressure on such a young man’s shoulders. It is very very early days.
    “He punches very well. He fights up close.
    “He has to tick boxes as a fighter. No doubt his talent is there.” More

    Khan vs Brook will take place in Manchester in front of a sold-out crowd of 20,000, with the main event expected to get underway at 10.30pm UK time.

    Amir Khan vs Kell Brook: UK start time, TV channel, live stream, undercard for Saturday’s HUGE grudge match

    THEY’VE been avoiding each other for years, but Amir Khan is finally down to fight Kell Brook THIS WEEKEND.Khan and Brook have been touted for a big dust-up for years but have never managed to put pen-to-paper on a deal.
    How the fighters compare ahead of the huge bout
    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 trained 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.

    Who is Amir Khan’s new trainer?
    Khan is hoping he has the secret weapon in his corner to beat Kell Brook in trainer Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre’.
    And the American certainly knows a thing or two about both Brits ahead of their Manchester grudge scrap.
    Back in November 2020 McIntyre guided Crawford to a stunning fourth-round KO of Brook at an empty MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
    And Khan has decided to let bygones be bygones after his own defeat to Crawford in April 2019.
    That ended is somewhat controversial fashion with Khan pulled out by his corner after six rounds.
    Brian McIntyre will be in Khan’s corner
    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.” More

    Khan vs Brook will take place on February 19 in ManchesterCredit: PA
    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.

    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.” More

    Watch Sky Sports host David Jones get injured as Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards hilariously face off in studio

    SKY SPORTS host David Jones took a knock in Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards’ hilarious boxing face off. The two former Premier League footballers went face-to-face to get in the mood for Amir Khan’s all-British clash with Kell Brook and host Jones was acting as the mediator.

    Jones urged the pair not to get ‘too close’, in which Carragher replied: “He doesn’t want to get too close to me.”
    Carragher then jokingly pushed towards Richards but caught Jones whilst he was at it.
    The trio burst into laughter as Jones – who appeared to have hurt something – walked out of the camera shot.
    Carragher and Richards have become quite the duo on TV.
    In last night’s post-match analysis of Leicester vs West Ham, the pair shared a dance as they were explaining how Vladmir Coufal should’ve defended Harvey Barnes’ cross for Ricardo Pereira’s second half header.
    On CBS coverage of the Champions League, the pair had viewers and colleagues in stitches when Richards decided to rattle off some Italian phrases.
