Khan vs Brook is ON!


Five years too late.

Both past their best now.

But I think Brook will knock him out.

Yep too late for me to, neither of them are relevant and this now just looks like one last cash in to retire.

Reminds me of the stalled match ups of 10 years ago, they can go fk themselves.

One thing you have to admit about the current legit boxers, Canelo, GGG, Joshua, Usyk, Wilder, Fury ........... they don't duck fights and they want the biggest fights.

Oh yeah definitely. It's not come at the ideal time and it's obviously just about money, but at least it's a proper fight and not one of these circus acts we've come to expect lately - like youtubers vs finished fighters, or 50 odd year old finished fighters dancing with each other.

And I think there may be a little bit of dislike between these two.

Not if I have to pay for it I won't.

I honestly couldn't give a toss who Khan fights or Brook at this stage of their careers.

This to me is similar to Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury, in fact, I have more interest in that fight than Khan's.

What?

A youtuber vs a love island bloke, or two professional boxers who have fought at the top of the game throughout their careers?

As Losmeister said, the interest in the Fury one is only because if he loses, he smears the family name.

As for Khan and Brook my issue with it is its nothing but a retirement cash grab out of their prime.

Khan has been sitting on his arse since 2019.

Meh, maybe you're right I'd say its about even in interest, I'm not a fan of the circus match ups like Jake Paul but at least this time its against an actual boxer (kind of).

Well I have zero interest on these nonsense fights that make a mockery of the sport. Mayweather vs McGregor, all of these youtubers, boxers who've been retired for 20 years, and so on. Not a bit of interest in watching them.

This Brooke vs Khan fight is a proper fight. Two professional boxers who are still fighting.

Says he has a bad chest infection and broken rib (presumably from extensive coughing or something).
