Fight talk
Brook rejects payday accusation
“I’ve got to applaud Terence Crawford for taking this fight, because he is in there with a monster with self-belief. He is one hell of a fighter but a smaller man naturally to me. I’m a dangerous man, a big welterweight and a force to be reckoned with.
“Everybody has been writing me off. I’m going against everyone. This fight is for me. Nobody else bar me.
“He’s a guy I followed on Instagram because I like his style. I had never worked with him previously because Dominic is my trainer number one. I messaged him on Instagram and basically said ‘let’s work together’.
“The first day, I knew that we gelled unbelievably. He is basically obsessed. He is passionate. And that’s everything I need in this fight.”
Khan backing Brook to pull off upset
“I know he's got his hands full against Terence Crawford. I wish Kell nothing but the best, I wish him the very best, to go out there and put a stop to his reign," Khan told Seconds Out.
“And he can do that, Kell's a good fighter and I've always respected him. Look, as a Brit, we have to support each other.
“Even though we've not looked eye to eye for many years, end of the day I am going to be rooting for him.”
