They say styles make fights. Try hatred, jealousy, resentment and disgust leading to fear and loathing in Manchester on February 19.
The first public reaction to Amir Khan and Kell Brook ‘Finally’ agreeing to get it on has been of two good old guys stepping outside the back door of the bar to settle seven years of difference.
The more poison they spewed at each other in the normally august environs of London’s Hilton hotel on Monday the clearer it became that this promises to be a fight for the ages, not the aged.
At least as far as British boxing is concerned.
Sworn enemies Amir Khan and Kell Brook will finally face each other in the ring next year
They came face to face after five months of acrimonious negotiating by their teams and Brook promptly planted his forehead into Khan’s nose.
The King of Bolton reacted by shoving Sheffield’s Special 0ne across the stage with both hands.
‘I’ve never had anyone dislike me so much,’ said Khan. ‘Now I want to punch him in the face.’
Said Brook: ‘I want to hit him right now. He’s lied about why he kept me ducking me so long. Hatred is a strong word but I despise him.
Khan got heated during the press conference as Brook snarled back at his enemy as the anger and resentment was laid bare for all to see
