Kell Brook Details the Root Cause of His Grudge Against Amir Khan

It is no secret that Amir Khan and Kell Brook are not on good terms and the only way to settle their bad-blood rivalry is to put them against each other in the ring. That will happen on February 19, in what can be one of the biggest fights in the history of the UK. Both the former world champions have been in talks to square off for several years.

While they are now being pitched opposite each other, the intensity of the fight hasn’t seen a decline. Khan vs. Brook is still intriguing, as it will reflect who’s got more left in their gas tank. A lot has been said from both ends and the pair seems ready to trade shots. Meanwhile, Kell Brook connected with Sky Sports and detailed from where exactly their rivalry began.

He said, “I think he [Amir Khan] is a good fighter. It won’t be where he is and you know you don’t become a world champion if he is not and yeah I do respect him as a fighter]. And he doesn’t seem to give me that respect. That’s where it stems for you know.”

Brook and Khan will relinquish years of ring-rust before they collide against each other. Meanwhile, ‘Special Kell’ may have something extra to worry about. He suffered a crushing loss to WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford on his latest outing in 2020.

Now, Amir Khan is training with ‘Bud’ Crawford for the upcoming fight, which can be a subtle warning for Brook. Although Khan had also lost to Crawford in the past, the current relationship between them can work in favor of ‘King Khan’.

The particular fight is alluring for several reasons, as Khan and Brook possess some pretty similar features. Both men are 35 years old and have been hard hitters in their careers. Besides, they have also appeared vulnerable in the ring quite a few times. It leaves the door open to several possible outcomes of their scrap.

The outer-ring scenario of the fight is also entertaining, filled with mutual hatred and tussles. Khan and Brook have already made bold claims about winning the fight at any cost. So, we can expect them to leave it all in the ring, offering a gruesome affair for the fans to relish.
