Kell Brook Reveals His Sacrifices to Settle Old Grudge

Rivalries in boxing create extra dimensions in the battle. This leads to an intense exchange of leather, as pugilists who are rivals do not craft punches just to win. Instead, they throw fists to hurt their opponent. Fans can expect the latter from former unified light-welterweight champion Amir Khan and former IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook on February 19.

Prior to the highly-anticipated showdown at Manchester Arena, ‘The Special One’ took to Sky Sports as a guest. In an interview on Soccer AM, he reflected on his sacrifices ahead of the Amir Khan fight.

Brook said, “Amazing. It’s like training’s gone unbelievable been out in Fort Ventura for six weeks. A lot warmer than here. We went out 20th of December, so Christmas new year were canceled this, you know, last year, so put that work in for this fight.”

British boxing fans have been waiting for this collision for years. It was supposed to happen when both fighters were champions. However, as ‘King’ took a shot against pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez, Brook fought GGG. This resulted in both boxers going on different paths entirely, but they never forgot their past.

Amir Khan said he was schooling Kell Brook with one hand

Various reports confirm a genuine animosity between both of them from their amateur boxing days. When ‘King’ was chosen for the Olympics team, he became a national sensation after he won the silver medal. Khan said, “I got picked for the Olympic team because I was schooling Kell with one hand.”

‘King’ Khan will be desperate to prove this to the world. However, Brook will be hungry to punish the former light-welterweight champion. His hunger was evident as he made a chilling claim the moment the bout became official.

‘The Special One’ had said, “I’m sick of people coming up to me asking me when I’m going to fight him. February is when he hits the deck for the final time. He’s never given me respect, acknowledged me.”
