By Allan Fox: IBF welterweight champion Errol ‘The Truth’ Spence Jr. (23-0, 20 KOs) was amused and surprised to hear how Amir ‘King’ Khan (32-4, 20 KOs) called him out recently. Khan, 31, made his successful comeback last weekend in stopping Phil Lo Greco (28-4, 15 KOs) in the 1st round following a 2-year absence from the ring.
By Scott Gilfoid: According to promoter Eddie Hearn, the British boxing public wants to see Amir Khan face Kell Brook, and he says it’s important that he gives them that fight. Hearn just happens to be the promoter for both fighters, so it helps him as well as if he makes this fight. I don’t know if the world wants Khan vs. Brook. The boxing fans outside of the UK want Khan to fight Errol Spence, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia or Terence Crawford. They don’t care about Brook, who clearly isn’t the best fighter at 154. We saw what Spence did to Brook last May in forcing him to quit on one knee when the going got tough. Khan-Brook is little more than a domestic level scrap.

By Scott Gilfoid: Coming off of two years of inactivity a terrible knockout, Amir Khan (31-4, 19 KOs) has a great deal of pressure on him tonight to not only beat Phil Lo Greco (28-3, 15 KOs) in their catch-weight fight at 150lbs but to look good in doing so, according to Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.
By Scott Gilfoid: Amir ‘King’ Khan (31-4, 19 KOs) weighed in right at the limit of 150 pounds for his catch-weight fight against high-level gatekeeper Phil Lo Greco (28-3, 15 KOs) for their 12 round fight this Saturday night on Sky Sports at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England.
