  There IS a rematch clause

  Should he fancy it and not retire, Amir Khan can get revenge for his brutal loss to Kell Brook as the pair’s grudge match has a rematch clause.

  Brook finally settled the score with his bitter rival in a fight of the year contender Manchester a few hours ago.

  However, promoter Ben Shalom does not expect it to be exercised.

  Speaking before the bout, he revealed: "There is a rematch clause as a precaution should anything go wrong.

  "But I can’t see it going to a rematch. This could end in a knockout and I don’t think the other fighter will want a rematch after this.

  "Whoever wins on Saturday night will be the winner and it will be left at that."

  "Now I wanna see how spicy he can get with me because I'm not Amir Khan.

  "We have history, he's the reason I didn't fight Gennady Golovkin and I've never forgiven him for that."

  Mayweather vs Brook

  Floyd Mayweather was called out by Kell Brook's trainer Dominic Ingle after they finally got one over on Amir Khan.

  Khan spent several wasted years of his prime chasing a mega-money fight with Mayweather, to no avail.

  Ingle said: "He seems to want to fight everybody that's not a boxer. But why not? If it can be made, Ben you're the man, apparently.

  "You're the new man on the block, so get in touch with Floyd and whether it's an exhibition or a fight, it's probably something we can do."

  Eubank Jr, 32, told Sky Sports: “I don’t like him, he don’t like me. We can make it happen.”
