By Scott Gilfoid: Eddie Hearn, the promoter for IBF welterweight belt holder Kell Brook, says he had a recent conversation with Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) about a potential fight between Khan and Brook for mid-2016, and Hearn is starting to feel confident that he can make that fight.
He’s now looking to get the 29-year-old Khan to commit to the fight with Brook so that they can start marketing the fight and preparing for it. Hearn old Khan that Brook is going to be moving up to the junior middleweight division after two more fights so that Brook can look to capture a title in that division.
