talkSPORT will exclusively broadcast the long-awaited grudge match between Amir Khan and Kell Brook

talkSPORT will exclusively broadcast the long-awaited grudge match between Amir Khan and Kell Brook, in partnership with BOXXER. The fight follows talkSPORT’s previous coverage of big fights including Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder III and regular boxing content across the schedule including talkSPORT’s Fight Night program on Saturdays.

Two-time world champion Khan enters the big fight in Britain’s rivalry with 34 career wins – 21 by knockout – and just five losses. Former world champion Brook has 39 wins including 27 by knockout and only three losses to his credit. Between them, they faced the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, including Terence Crawford, Canelo Alvarez, Errol Spence Jr and Gennady Golovkin.

The highly anticipated fight takes place on February 19 in Manchester with all warm-up and undercard fights live on talkSPORT from 7.30pm.

The network will also exclusively air another big grudge match under the BOXXER banner – the long-awaited Chris Eubank Jr vs. Liam Williams fight, which will be live from Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena on February 5th.

Adam Catterall will once again host talkSPORT’s Fight Night coverage through these fights alongside Gareth A Davies, Spencer Oliver and Andy Clarke bringing all the best build-up, the fight itself and all the ring reaction and analysis for these three fights. They’ll be joined by welterweight star Conor Benn to analyze all the action.

talkSPORT is producing a special documentary on Sunday February 13 inspired by the rivalry of Kell Brook and Amir Khan. Bad Blood examines boxing’s fiercest rivalries, takes a unique look at boxing history and examines rivalries that turned into hate.

Amir Khan said: “It’s going to be a massive fight and a masterclass for talkSPORT listeners to destroy Kell – I think he’ll have to retire after this fight. talkSPORT always does a great job with its boxing coverage and listeners can expect to hear a comfortable loss for Kell Brook.

Kell Brook said, “I’m looking forward to this fight. He’s in cuckoo country, and he’ll know pretty soon when that bell rings and I throw leather at him.

“It’s all the animosity on my side and I think it’s from him. There’s no love lost. I don’t love him. He doesn’t love me and I want to punch him strong.

talkSPORT head Lee Clayton said: “Khan v Brook is shaping up to be one of the big sporting events of 2022 and talkSPORT will be there for all the previews, build up, live action and analysis. Our documentary Bad Blood will explore the great grudge matches in boxing history and put our listeners in the mood for this huge British rivalry. talkSPORT listeners love boxing, and our heavyweight team will bring all the action to life from the ring through these three fights.
