Boxer, Amir Khan insists that a Fight against Kell Brook is still a possibility but believes the all-British showdown is unlikely to happen before the summer of 2018.

On Saturday, Brook lost his IBF welterweight title to American Errol Spence Jr in Sheffield, although he insisted immediately after the absorbing fight that he would be willing to campaign at the 147-pound limit in the future.

After suffering a left eye injury in what was his first outing back in the division since losing to Gennady Golovkin at middleweight, ‘The Special One’ was stopped in round 11. But Khan feels the result has not scuppered the idea of a clash between the two long-time rivals, provided Brook remains in the welterweight division.

Amir Khan says, “I’d like to fight him at 147. Obviously Kell has had the loss now and I’m sure he’s going to go into another fight that is going to be a nice, tune-up fight. Maybe next summer we could be back. It depends on Kell’s eye, and also the dates – there are a lot of pay-per-per view fights on. The fight between me and Kell Brook is a pay-per-view fight. I really believe that fight next summer would make sense.’’

He added, “Kell needs some time now to relax and chill out. With next summer, it gives him the chance to have a tune-up fight before then going into a big fight. Let’s see how it goes. Obviously Kell said after the fight he can make 147 again. Look, we all find it hard making weight. I find it hard getting down to 147 but I still make it.’’

He concluded, “Kell looked great on the scales and he looked great today again. I just don’t think the weight is something – I think the demons have come back from the Golovkin fight.”
