Brook: Khan is killing himself to make 140
By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten welterweight contender Kell Brook (23-0, 16 KO’s) is eagerly waiting for WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (25-1, 17 KO’s) to finally move up in weight to the welterweight division so that he can get a crack at fighting Khan. Brook, 24, realizes that the 5’10” Khan will have to move up in weight sooner or later because he’s quickly out-growing the 140 pound limit at light welterweight.
