Carl Frampton (Frank Warren) Vs. Amir Khan (Eddie Hearn) on April 21st

Fight fans, British ones in particular, will possibly have a tough choice to make on the evening of April 21st: attend/watch at home the hugely intriguing Carl Frampton-Nonito Donaire fight in Belfast, or attend/watch at home the Amir Khan comeback fight in Liverpool.

Both British stars will engage in their respective fights, while a ratings battle will also take place, between Sky Sports, who will televise Khan’s comeback, and BT Sport/BoxNation, who will do the business with the Frampton-Donaire clash. Frank Warren, who promotes Frampton, obviously wants his show to triumph, but Eddie Hearn, who of course has just signed Khan to a three-fight deal, believes the star power of Khan will see to it that his show gets the bigger viewing figures.

Amir Khan to hold presser in London tomorrow, set to announce something “major” - whispers says Khan has signed with Eddie Hearn!

Amir Khan is set to host a press conference in London tomorrow, during which the former 140 pound champ will make what he himself says will be “a major announcement.” Just this week rumors surfaced, suggesting Khan has a fight set against Adrien Broner, but while this may indeed be the big news the 31 year old will release officially tomorrow, there are more whispers saying he has even bigger news.

Who wins: Amir Khan-Adrien Broner – rumours suggest the fight is in the works

Who wins: Amir Khan-Adrien Broner – rumours suggest the fight is in the works

Just last week, Amir Khan put out a tantalising tweet in which he wrote how he has a “big announcement” that he will make in the coming days. As soon as fight fans read the message, speculation was rife on what the former 140 pound champion’s announcement might be.

Khan is, as we know, itching to fight again, for the first time since he was stopped by Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez in a catch-weight affair that took place in May of 2015, and a rumour has begun circulating (via Boxing Planet and Boxing Kingdom) that suggests Khan will face none other than Adrien Broner this March. Khan did say a while back how he wanted his next fight to take place before his home fans in the UK, but money, and opportunity, talks. If Khan has been offered a big fight with Broner, of course it makes plenty of sense for him to take it.

Who has a better chance of ruling the world again: Amir Khan or Kell Brook?

British stars Amir Khan and Kell Brook both had a tough time of things back in 2017 (Happy New Year!) – Brook being beaten by Errol Spence in losing his IBF welterweight title and then being sent to hospital (again, with a broken eye socket) and Khan, though not fighting at all, taking something of a hammering from factions of the press due to the events in his personal life and because of his Australian adventure in the jungle (reality TV strikes again!).
