Amir Khan told what he must do in order to get Kell Brook rematch

After falling to defeat in convincing fashion to Kell Brook last month, Amir Khan has now taken a surprising U-turn on his decision to retire from professional boxing – and is seeking a rematch against his rival. But if he's to do so, he has been told he must prove himself to earn a rematch against Brook.

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.

However, Khan has now seemingly changed his mind completely, with promoter Ben Shalom revealing that he believes he will fight again. Khan does indeed have a rematch clause, however, Shalom stated that he'd prefer if he did invoke that to allow Brook to fight elsewhere, or preferring to see both retire.
