AMIR KHAN is set for talks with Eddie Hearn to finally face Kell Brook as the promoter said: ‘There’s still value in the fight’.
Khan and Brook have been rivals for years but failed to seal a deal for an all-British mega-fight.
And just as it looked as though the grudge match was dead in the water, an interest has since been sparked.
It comes after Khan revealed he wanted to fight Brook this year to ‘put him in his place’ and ‘shut him up for good’.
Hearn responded by messaging the former light-welterweight champion to set up a meeting between the two.
He told iFL TV: “He never wanted to do the fight when there was so much money involved.
“Now, there’s a lot less money involved, but I’d still like to do the fight. I messaged him the other day, ‘Do you want to talk about it?’
“He said, ‘Yeah, when I’m back from Dubai. We can have a chat’. There’s still value in the fight. It’s not as big as it once was, but we’ll see.”
The domestic foes came close to agreeing a terms in 2018, only for Khan to instead face pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford at the last minute.
He went on to lose in round five, but bounced back a year later by beating Billy Dib in Saudi Arabia, but has not fought since.
