Chris Eubank Jr sends clear message to Kell Brook on Amir Khan fight night

Chris Eubank Jr has called out Kell Brook amid his grudge fight with Amir Khan.

Brook will face Khan on Saturday night, with the two set to end their decade long rivalry with a fight at the Manchester Arena.

After years of back and forth with a fight never materialising, they finally agreed to face one another.

It's a fight that will likely be the last of both of their respected careers - and one which they both state they wish they had engaged in as younger men.

However, Brook could also look to end another rivalry should he defeat Khan.

On the back of an impressive victory over his rival Liam Williams, Eubank Jr has called out Brook.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "Me and Kell have beef - we have history.

"He's said a lot of things about me - he says he wants to kick my head in after this fight.

"I wanna fight Kell Brook after this, so I want him to win so that our fight isn't dead in the water.

Brook also confirmed he would be willing to fight Eubank Jr, earlier this week.

“Yeah if I do continue with the game, why not?," Brook told Mirror Fighting . "I don’t like him and I would like to punch his face in as well.

"I have been loving training camp in the sunny Fuerteventura. Sea, pool, cycling and it’s so nice. I have my mojo back and my big task is Amir Khan and flattening him. When the dust settles we will see what we plan on doing after."
