What a way to make your comeback. Sensational stuff.
For boxing fans, it worked out perfectly, with Khan making light work of Lo Greco just in time to switch over to the Carl Frampton fight.
Following the fight, Brook said he would ‘destroy’ Khan.
“I’ve sparred him,” Brook said. “He has the fastest hands I’ve been in with. But timing beats speed. I will land that bomb on him and destroy him. I can do 147. Even if I have to cut both my legs off, I’ll get there. I want the fight. I’m dying to put him to sleep.”
“I want the fight. He doesn’t want the fight, he just ran off. All the fans want the fight. I’ll make him see stars. He made 150 today, he’s been out for two years, he struggled at welterweight, why not make it at catch weight.”
