Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook Purse Breakdown

The all-British welterweight clash between Amir Khan and Kell Brook is just a few hours away from turning into a reality. Although the fight should have occurred several years back when both boxers were in their prime, the intensity of the matchup is still the same.
