LONDON – Amir Khan would love to head into retirement after a blockbusterfight against Kell Brook.
Just 40 seconds were required for Khan to knock out Phil Lo Greco on hisreturn last month, as he bounced back in style after an absence of almosttwo years following his defeat against Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
Brook watched the destruction of Lo Greco at ringside but vowed to“destroy” the Olympic silver medallist should a prospective clash betweenthe pair materialise.
Khan previously stated a bout with Brook, rather than claiming worldtitles, was now his top priority, with the former’s deal with promotersMatchroom Boxing boosting the chances of the rivals finally meeting in thering.
And defeating the former welterweight world champion would be the perfectsend-off for Khan, who admits he is coming towards the end of his career.
He told Omnisport: “If you’re going to call me out, let us make the fightthen. But with Kell [Brook], I think he just kept making it a joke sayingthese things. If he really wants the fight then we can get it done now.
“I’ve come closer to him by signing with his promotion, Eddie Hearn andMatchroom promotions.
“It shows that I am getting closer to that fight and I want that fight. So,he’s putting me down saying I’m afraid of him, I mean that’s not true.
“I would love to fight him. That is a stadium fight and it will probably beone of my last fights in my career because I’ve been in the game a longtime and I’ve had some big fights in my career and I think by ending it bybeating Kell Brook would be awesome.”
