There could be a possible major showdown between Amir Khan and Kell Brook in 2020.<\/p>\n
Promoter Eddie Hearn has said “I still want to make that fight. I’ll give it one more roll of the dice,”.<\/p>\n
“I will tell them: ‘Guys, spring 2020, let’s do it’.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully we can get it over the line.”<\/p>\n
Khan blew away Billy Dib in four rounds in July, but Brook has not fought since December when he outpointed Michael Zerafa.<\/p>\n
“He wants to fight in December,” Hearn said about Brook who has recently returned to training in Sheffield.<\/p>\n
“He wants the big fights. He has been there and done it, he wants to have those big fights, and he feels like he’s got a few left.<\/p>\n
“He tried to make the Terence Crawford fight, 147lbs is still difficult for him but he can do it with the right amount of time and preparation.<\/p>\n
“He still has the hunger, and still wants to knock out a certain Mr Khan.<\/p>\n
“We’ll see if we can get it over the line.”<\/p>\n
Khan mentioned settling his score with Brook in the days before his most recent fight, earlier this summer.<\/p>\n
“The Brook fight is still out there, definitely,” Khan said. “In Britain it would be a huge fight.”<\/p>\n
