After years of waiting, Amir Khan will finally take on Kell Brook on February 19, as the former champions are geared up for a 12-round welterweight collision. Relinquishing their respective years of ring rust, both men have already sparked a heated rivalry. A lot has been said, and it’s time to see who can actually sample their words to action inside the squared circle.

Khan had fought Billy Dib in 2019 in the inaugural event of SBL and scored a TKO win. That was his last appearance in the ring. Meanwhile, Brook has had two appearances since then. He won against Mark DeLuca via stoppage but surrendered before WBO champion Terence Crawford in his recent outing in 2020.
