    Anyone actually care that they are finally going at it?

    Two past it 35 year olds with no titles between them and eight defeats, fighting at a catchweight. It's happened years too late and you'd have to be bonkers to purchase it on PPV.

    Only heard of khan, no clue who the other guy is.

    Edit: unless you mean Kelly Brook, then I've heard of her...

    How is Amir Khan only 35?

    It feels like he's been around for about 20 years.

    Aye, just looking now. Silver medallist at the 2004 Olympics. He would have been 17 then.

    It’s still a fun fight. 2 exciting styles & no ones been conned. No ones telling lies that they’re still world class or that they’re going for world titles afterwards. Just settling a score.

    It doesn’t annoy me like the Haye-Bellew fights where Haye was clearly injured going into both fights & should’ve never been in the ring or the Whyte-Povetkin rematch where Povetkin had been in a bad way in hospital with Covid only 10 weeks prior & could barely walk to the ring but took it for a pay day.

    My belief is the best version of Brook beats the best version of Khan but this is just a case of who’s got what left & how much the weight cut takes out of Brook.

    It's like celebrity death match. I just hope nobody rolls out the Tahitian Skeleton pull of Death.

    Yes, it's come a few years later than we'd have liked, but it's still an exciting fight. I prefer Brook in all honesty, but Khan is a good boxer too and if he can keep his chin tucked in, who knows. Good fight. Looking forward to it.

    I think it'll be a knock out.

    I can’t see it happening on the date they’ve scheduled.

    Brook will struggle to make weight in 10 weeks time. And if he does, he would be spent at the weight.

    Shame really, few years back I loved watching Kell Brook.

    Brook is heavy handed and should still carry the power even coming down in weight - it's all about landing for him - Khan is chinny and that never leaves you no matter what your weight is - Brook inside 5 rounds for me
