Kell Brook (40-3, 28 KOs) settled his longstanding dispute with Amir Khan (34-6, 21 KOs) in a 6-round beating in the main event of the evening at the AO Arena in Manchester. Brook was able to shock Khan in the first round and followed him throughout the fight. Khan lost almost every episode of this fight and was often on the verge of falling until referee Victor Loughlin finally stopped the one-sided bout in the sixth round at 0:51.
To Khan's credit, we can say that he spent half of these six rounds in a shocked state, clearly swimming, but continued to remain on his feet. After the battle, both eternal opponents embraced as a sign of the end of the mutual enmity, which served as the promotion of the battle, and which today brought them a lot of money.
