The fight on February 19 between Amir Khan (34-5, 21 KOs) with Kell Brook (39-3, 27 KOs) in Manchester was officially confirmed. The fight will be shown in UK on pay-per-view.
The first negotiations on organizing a fight between the two former world champions began several years ago. Currently, both fighters are closer to sports retirement than championship fights.
Brook last fought a year ago when he was knocked out by Terence Crawford. Khan, 34, has not entered the ring for over two years.
