Amir Khan supporting Kell Brook against Gennady Golovkin

KELL BROOKโ€™S bitterest rival, Amir Khan has thrown his weight behind his fellow Britonโ€™s brave, perhaps even foolhardy, challenge to outstanding middleweight Gennady Golovkin.

โ€œBritish fighters running the sport of boxing right now, so many fighters willing to fight the best and taking chances,โ€ Amir said.

Khan boldly stepped up in weight to take on Canelo Alvarez only to be knocked out heavily in six rounds. In the past Amir has had fewย compliments for Brook but he has now praised Brook. โ€œBehind you 100% Kell Brook, glad you took a leaf out of my book, tough ask but anything can happen,โ€ he said, before adding, โ€œJust don’t pull out.โ€

Khan even had some words of praise for Kellโ€™s promoter Eddie Hearn. He noted, โ€œGreat work Eddie, preferred to have seen Chris Eubank Jr fight Gennady Golovkin with his style but fair play.โ€
