By Scott Gilfoid: IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook seems to have taken the news pretty well of Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) passing him up for WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs). Brook, 29, had been hoping to face Khan on June 4, in a nice paying fight at Wembley Stadium in London, UK.
Instead of Brook getting the Khan fight, he is left with nothing. All he can hope for is maybe his promoter Eddie Hearn setting up a unification fight against WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia instead for the summer. That is not a Wembley Stadium type of fighter, however.
Brook says he is not sure if Khan is cashing out with the fight against the much bigger 25-year-old Canelo Alvarez. Never the less, Brook does not see it as a winnable fight for Khan.
