Amir Khan vs Kell Brook set for February 2022
Finally the news British boxing fans have been waiting 10 years for, Amir Khan and Kell Brook meet at the AO Arena in Manchester, February 2022.
Boxxer announced the huge all British fight to be shown live on Sky Sports Box Office, Khan hasn't fought since his KO win over Billy Dib in Australia back in 2019 whilst Brook suffered a loss to pound for pound star Terence Crawford almost a year ago.
The fight will take place Saturday, February 19 at the AO Arena Manchester and will air live and exclusively in the UK on Sky Sports Box Office.
Kell Brook
I'm ecstatic that the fans are gonna see this fight what they've wanted to see for years. February 19 in Manchester is when Amir Khan will hit the deck for the final time."
"It's been so frustrating for me I've been wanting this for for many years. He’s never given me respect, he’s never acknowledged me, he’s always run away and now at this part of his career there’s nowhere else for him to run so now he wants to fight.
Amir Khan
I’ve never run from Kell, never needed to. My achievement in the sport speaks for itself. We're here now, there’s no point crying about the past. In the past I don't think he deserved the fight, now it’s come to a stage where I am waiting to give him a big shot… in the face. All that big talk he’s been doing - I’m gonna do this, I'm gonna do that - come February 19 we will see what he can do and how he can back those words up.
I am coming levels down, taking this fight. I have fought the best in the world. I’ve conquered America. To give the British fans this fight, I am coming levels down. The people want to see this fight, the people want to see me punch him in the face. It's time to put him in his place and hopefully move on to bigger and better things.
Adam Smith, Head of Boxing Development, Sky Sports
This is the British blockbuster, the acrimonious jewel that so many sports fans have been waiting for year after year. There is no love lost, there is no certainty as to who will win. There is immense pride and firepower on the line.
After all their boxing triumphs over the years, this is the fight and night which both Amir Khan and Kell Brook will be remembered for. February 19 in the electric Manchester Arena, live on Sky Sports Box Office, stand by for a roller coaster as we find once and for all if it’s Khan or if it’s Brook.
This is the biggest fight in Britain aside from AJ and Fury. It’s being talked about everywhere, people want to see that fight and I decided that we should make that fight. Let’s put the gloves and settle it. I respect him as a fighter - anyone who steps in that square circle I respect - but this fight won’t go the 12 rounds.
