Amir Khan vs Kell Brook would sell out Wembley Stadium in a minute, says Eddie Hearn
Matchroom promoter is desperate to make the British grudge match happen before the end of the year
EDDIE HEARN believes a British mega-fight between bitter rivals Kell Brook and Amir Khan could sell out Wembley in seconds.
The warring pair traded insults after Khan made a triumphant return to the ring, defeating Phil Lo Greco in under a minute.
Brook got in the ring after the fight and both now look set to have a massive showdown at the end of the year to finally put and end to the years of verbal sparring.
Hearn told iFL TV: “It’s an absolute huge fight.
“But both have a lot of options and we will have to sit down and see.
“Neither Guy like each other, one day you’ll sit back when it’s all said and done and I don’t want to be saying I should’ve made that fight.
“Before tonight I’m thinking it’s a MEN Arena fight obviously that sells out, it’s also a 40-50-60 Bolton, Bramall Lane – now you stick the motherf***** in Wembley and it’s gone in 60 seconds.
“It’s MASSIVE, Brook vs Khan sells out Wembley in a nano second.
