Amir Khan has been given three-week deadline to activate his rematch clause with Kell Brook whilst he makes his retirement decision after being defeated in comfortable fashion.
Both Khan and Brook had been urged to retire from multiple ring analysts following their spectacular grudge match in Manchester, with both being past their best after their storied careers. Fans had waited over a decade for the two rivals to face-off in the ring and the bout didn't disappoint, with Brook ultimately ending victorious via a sixth-round stoppage after inflicting heavy punishment upon Khan.
After the fight, Khan all but confirmed he will retire, while Brook toyed with the idea of further bouts - with both Chris Eubank Jr and Connor Benn calling him out. BOXXER promoter Ben Shalom - who had taken the front seat in promoting and booking the first fight between the pair - has admitted it is unlikely that Khan will choose to take up the option, and expects him to retire.
