Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua karanga a Kell Brook i te tinihanga a Amir Khan mo te whawhai riri pea i waenga i te tokorua - e kii ana ki tana hoa whawhai o Ingarangi: 'Kaore e pa ana ki te moni mo au.' Kua kaha ake ngā karanga kia whakatauhia e Khan tana riri roa ki a Brook i ngā rā tata nei, engari e kī ana te toa Bolton he take nui ake ōna. Ahakoa e hiahia ana a Khan ki te whakatau i te toa IBF welterweight 'i tetahi ra', i kii ia ka hiahia ia ki te wikitoria-ka riro katoa te whawhai. I karanga a Kell Brook ki a Amir Khan i roto i tētahi uiuinga i muri i tana whiunga i a Jo Jo Dan i Sheffield i te pō o te Rāhoroi. Ko te whawhai whakamutunga a Khan ki a Devon Alexander i te marama o Tihema, i whiua e ia kia eke tana rekoata ki te 30-3. Heoi, kaore a Brook i te raru i a ia e korero ana ki te Sky Sports News HQ: 'Kaore e pa ana ki te moni mo au. Kei ngā wāhi katoa e haere ana au, (e ui ana te iwi) "ahea koe e whawhai ai ki a ia?". 'Kei te hiahiatia e te iwi whānui inaianei. Ki taku whakaaro, e akiakihia ana ia ki te uru atu ki tēnei whawhai mēnā ka uru atu ia.' I tiakina e Brook tana taitara o te ao me te mahi whakangaromanga e wha o te kaiwhakataetae whakahau a Jo Jo Dan i te mutunga o te wiki, a he tino maia ia ka taea e ia te mahi i tetahi mahi rite ki a Khan, ko tana makawe kino tonu e kiia ana he ngoikore nui. 'Kua hinga ia ki raro ki te kahu e nga taimaha-taimaha i roto i tana mahi,' ka mea a Brook. 'Kei te whawhai ia ki tētahi toa taumaha nui, kaha i roto i a au, he toa o te ao, he tino maia, kāore anō kia hinga, e tino hiahia ana ki te patu i a ia. 'Kaua e pohehe, he tino, tino, tino toa a Amir Khan; he tino tere nga ringaringa, tino tere rawa atu nga ringaringa i uru atu ahau. Engari ko te mea pono, ina whakapā atu ahau ki tōna uma, he pai te pō o Vienna. 'Kei te hē katoa ahau mo ia. Ka kitea e ahau he huarahi ki te hopu ia ia, to tatou 12 rauna. Ka whai mahere tino pai mātou.' I whakangaromia e Brook a Dan i Sheffield, i whiua ia i roto i nga rauna e wha anake kia mau tonu tana taitara IBF World Welterweight. I whakakahoretia e Khan te whawhai ki a Brook i mua ake nei engari inaianei ka oati ia ka tu i roto i nga marama 12. Heoi anō, kei te whai a Khan i tētahi tukinga ki te toa o te Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao super-fight, ā, ka kī atu...
I kii a Amir Khan ka whawhai ia ki a Kell Brook i roto i nga marama 12 e whai ake nei. E whakapono ana a Brook kei a ia te mana ki te patu i a Khan ina tutaki raua. E kī ana a ia kāore te moni i te take i whakaaetia ai te kirimana ki te puni a Khan. E whakapono ana a Eddie Hearn e kore a Khan e hiahia ki te whawhai ki a Brook.
