Amir Khan vs Kell Brook officially announced
'King Khan' clash confirmed with 'Special K'
Welterweights Amir Khan (34-5, 21KOs) and Kell Brook (39-3, 27KOs) have announced their huge British battle at AO Arena in Manchester on February 19, live on Sky Sports Box Office, as the bitter rivals finally settle their long-running dispute.
The decade-long rivalry between Amir Khan and Kell Brook will come to an explosive conclusion in the new year when the two welterweights headline a BOXXER event in 2022.
The long-awaited encounter will take place in Manchester, with thousands of fans in attendance at what is certain to be a sold-out AO Arena.
“Khan and Brook are icons of the sport in Britain and this will be an iconic encounter. Their rivalry has simmered for years, they are still by far the best welterweights in the country and the eyes of the world will be on them when they square off in February to finally settle the question about which of them is the better man,” said Ben Shalom, BOXXER’s founder and CEO.
“This is a fight every boxing fan has wanted to see for years. It’s the biggest fight in British boxing right now outside of Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury and we’re delighted to be able to deliver this legacy-defining clash live and exclusively on Sky Sports Box Office.”
Adam Smith, Head of Boxing Development at Sky Sports, said “Amir Khan against Kell Brook is here at last and it’s going to be an unforgettable night when these two huge names in British boxing finally settle their long-running rivalry. Khan and Brook have been asked about this fight for a decade, despite their success as world champion, and now we will get the answer in February.
“Sky Sports has covered some of the biggest fights of both Khan and Brook’s careers, but this one is special. This is a heated feud which has simmered for years and there’s so much pride at stake. It’s a real 50-50 fight and we will find out in February who takes it!”
