  • Amir Khan is set to name his next opponent in the coming days, but says he'd like a clash with Brook.

    Amir Khan wants a "winner takes all" showdown with British rival Kell Brook – but has told the IBF welterweight champion he will have to wait.

    Khan, who has fought just twice in the last two years, is set to name his next opponent in the coming days but says he would love a clash with Brook at some stage.

    However, the Bolton man is in no hurry to face his compatriot, with both boxers still holding out hope of taking on either Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao, who meet each other on May 2.

    Speaking to Sky Sports, Khan said: "I'd love to go in the ring and fight Kell Brook because it could be his last fight against me, because the thing is I would give him so much of a beating that it could end up being his last fight.

    "But it's all about timing. If I've got a different route and I want to face the likes of the Mayweathers or Pacquiaos out there, then Kell Brook will have to wait."

    Brook retained his IBF welterweight world crown in style at the weekend with a four-round stoppage of Romanian challenger Jo Jo Dan at a sold-out Motorpoint Arena in his native Sheffield.

    That came just six months after the unbeaten 28-year-old was stabbed in the leg with a machete in Tenerife.

    After the bout, Brook issued a 'come and fight me' challenge to Khan, with his promoter Eddie Hearn adding that Wembley Stadium was free for the pair on June 13.

    Regarding his more immediate plans, the 28-year-old Khan said: "I will be announcing who my next opponent will be in the next couple of days because I've already negotiated and when I give my word to an opponent, then I'm not one of them guys to back down."
