Hatton on the Khan Brook duel

On February 19, Manchester will host a duel between two British boxing stars - Amira Khan (34-5, 21 KOs) s Kellom Brook (39-3, 27 KOs). Another British star, a warrior from Manchester, expressed his opinion about this duel. Ricky Hatton...

“Amir may be too fast for Kell, but if Kell hits hard, he can knock Amir out. They say that you can lose the ability to take a punch, but never lose strength in your fists. Kell can undoubtedly really hit, and a well-aimed hit will give him a good chance of winning. However, I will not try to predict the exact outcome of my friends' fight, "said 43-year-old Hitman, a former world super lightweight and welterweight champion.

Kell Brook was the world welterweight champion from 2014-2017, while Amir Khan was runner-up at the 2004 Olympics and was the professional world super lightweight champion. Brook and Khan are 35 years old today. They are no longer among the best in the world, but will likely still be able to show spectacular warfare. And the spice of this confrontation is added by the fact that relations between Khan and Brook are extremely tense.
