Amir Khan lays into Kell Brook in Twitter rant

Game on

Kevin Beirne

We think it’s fair to say that Amir Khan is annoyed he doesn’t get to fight Kell Brook.

The Olympic silver medallist has been gunning for Brook’s  IBF welterweight belt for some time now, but he’ll have to wait a bit longer now after Brook announced his next opponent would be Canadian Kevin Bizier.

Khan has not taken the news well, and decided to share his thoughts on the fight with his Twitter followers.

First he stood up against accusations that his ‘middle men’ were getting in the way of big fights with the likes of Manny Pacquiao, saying he was willing to fight anyone but he was passed over for other options.

That’s not too unusual, but it’s the rant against Brook which caught our attention, as he called out Sheffield native Brook on his failure to challenge himself against

Khan then staked his claim as the number one challenger in the division.

Khan clearly isn’t impressed with the fighters he’s been overlooked for…

But hints that he’s used to the disappointment by now…

Then came the mic drop…
