CHINNY CHIN CHIN
‘Punch resistance is literally gone’ – Amir Khan slams rival Kell Brook saying he is ‘only fighting for the pay-day’
AMIR KHAN has serious concerns about Kell Brook's chin ahead of their long-awaited domestic dust-up.
The former welterweight champions, both 35, will finally settle their long-running feud on Saturday night in a high-stakes Battle of Britain in Manchester.

Sheffield slugger Brook was finished by a stiff jab in his last outing against Terence Crawford in November 2020, which has left Khan believing his rival can't take a shot anymore.
He told : "I don't think Kell has a chin or can take a good shot.
"I think his punch resistance is gone, literally gone. I honestly believe he is doing this fight just for that payday."
One-time sparring partners Khan and Brook had to be separated TWICE during a heated press conference last November.
And Olympic silver medallist Khan believes his mind games have already had a devastating effect on Special K.
The Bolton Bruiser said: "His confidence is brittle, definitely. And I can see right through him.

"You can see how he reacts when I talk to him.
"You could see he really dislikes me and hates me, which is normal. We're going to be fighting each other come Saturday.
"But I just think it's getting to him a bit too much where it could definitely throw his game-plan out the window, where he's going to go into a fight, guns blazing, make mistakes and get caught himself.
"I'm staying calm. I find it quite funny when I speak to him and I can see the anger in him.
"I just kind of mess around with him really, to be honest.
"That's what it's come down to. I pick on things, and I know it's going to get under his skin.
"But come fight night, we have a game-plan. I'm sure he has a game-plan.
"He's going to be ready, he's going to be prepared for the fight, like me. And we're going to give the Manchester fans a massive fight."
