Amir Khan
Dodging Boxers Kell Brook And Timothy Bradley
April 6. 2015
Amir Khan
The IBF declared American pugilist, Timothy Bradley, the
mandatory Amir Khan must fight in an eliminator bout, where the
winner would take on undefeated welterweight titleholder, Kell
Brook. Khan declined the fight in a move that has tongues
wagging. Bradley beat Filipino legend, Manny Pacquiao, due to
controversial scoring, but was defeated in the subsequent
rematch.
Fellow British boxer, Kell Brook, has been requesting a fight
against Khan, but he has repeatedly dodged him at every turn.
Brook and his team offered Khan $7,500,000 for a May 2015 title
fight at London’s famed Wembley stadium, but he declined. Last
week, Khan announced he would instead fight American boxer,
Chris Algieri, who was recently defeated by Pacquiao.
How Amir Khan is looking at
Kell Brook and his team (LOL)
Brook became angry at the announcement stating, "If someone
said to me you can get five million quid, a world title, fight
at Wembley with a fight that every fan wants to see, it's a
no-brainer for me. He's fighting Algieri who didn't win a round
against Pacquiao, a feather puncher, not a big puncher. It
doesn't make sense to me. I'm world champion, I'm calling him
out, we want the fight, there's a word title and a bagful of
money and it doesn't make sense that he's fighting this guy
who's bringing nothing to the table."
Brook believes Khan's declination of the fight against him
does not make sense. However, to Khan it does and for this
reason. Khan wants to fight top dogs Floyd Mayweather and Manny
Pacquiao, as they are the most famous in the division,
guaranteeing the biggest payday as well. In boxing it is a big
deal to be able to state you fought Mayweather and or Pacquiao.
Those are historic bragging rights. If Khan loses to undefeated
Brook, his chances of fighting the retiring Mayweather or
resurgent Pacquiao are greatly diminished. They will seek to
fight Brook instead.
Kell Brook
Fighting formerly undefeated Algieri is less of a risk.
Pacquiao gave a roadmap on how to beat Algieri in his recent win
against him and Khan will use that blueprint. There is no
blueprint for beating Brook, as he is undefeated. There exists
too much risk for Khan to fight Brook at this time due to these
facts (even though the Judiciary Report is of the belief Brook
vs. Khan in London this summer would be a fantastic fight that
deserves to be made).
As stated in past articles, in boxing all it takes is one
punch to mess up a career (then comes the arduous but workable
rebuilding after such a defeat). Brook needs to focus on getting
an audience with Mayweather and or Pacquiao and not wait around
for Khan. Try to get a fight with the legends.

Kell Brook vents frustration:
Khan-Algieri makes no sense
By Wil Esco on Apr 3, 2015, 10:49a 151- Kell Brook admits
he's frustrated with the whole Amir Khan situation, and thinks
the Algieri fight isn't worth a damn. The back and forth between
Kell Brook and Amir Khan seems to be a never-ending saga that
has gone on for years now. Ever since Brook picked up the IBF
welterweight title, thinking that would give him the standing to
demand a Khan fight, the war of words started heating up. When
Amir Khan announced yesterday that he would be fighting Chris
Algieri next, Brook wasn't at all pleased.
"If someone said to me you can get five million quid, a world
title, fight at Wembley with a fight that every fan wants to
see, it's a no-brainer for me," 28-year-old Brook told BBC 5
Live."
"He's fighting Algieri who didn't win a round against [Manny]
Pacquiao, a feather puncher, not a big puncher. It doesn't make
sense to me. I'm world champion, I'm calling him out, we want
the fight, there's a word title and a bagful of money and it
doesn't make sense that he's fighting this guy who's bringing
nothing to the table."...

IBF Confirms Khan Turned Down
Bradley Title Eliminator
Amir Khan, 30-3 (19 KOs), has turned down an eliminator
against Tim Bradley that would have determined who became the
mandatory for the IBF welterweight title, currently held by Kell
Brook. Khan, 28, had previously reached out to Boxing Scene to
categorically refute the claims. However, the IBF Championships
Chairman confirmed that Khan had indeed been offered the fight
with Bradley and that it had been rejected on his behalf by his
team. "Amir Khan’s people turned down the fight. Bradley
accepted"...
