AMIR KHAN is determined to end Kell Brook's boxing careers after he rebuilt it twice following two horrific knife attacks and other injuries.
Sheffield's former IBF Welterweight Champion, 35-year-old Sheffield, has had his face rebuilt twice after suffering cheekbone fractures in brutal defeats to Gennady Gorlovkin (2016) and Errol Spence Jr (2015).
Amir Khan hopes to end Kell Brook's career in boxing when they meet in ring
His left thigh is covered in the terrible scarring from a knife attack in Tenerife in 2014. He did an incredible job to fight back.
Brook was on holiday celebrating his world title victory over Shawn Porter two weeks prior when his limb was broken by a machete.
There were also serious concerns that he might never be able to walk again.
Seven years ago, he was attacked in his buttocks in a less serious incident.
Brook sustained life-altering injuries during back-to-back losses in the ring.
Golovkin broke the right orbital bone, and Errol Spence, an American 147 pound monster, gave him a matching set at Brook’s Bramall Lane eighteen months later.

Khan has suffered severe injuries and illnesses from violent KO losses to Canelo Alvarez, Danny Garcia, and Breidis Prescott.
He has taken the time to have his hand reconstructed.
Khan's right paw was completely regenerated by bone from his HIP three months after Canelo's sickening KO loss.
SunSport's exclusive revealed that the ace had been boxing for 13 years with a severely injured hand. He could only punch at 30% of his potential.

He said that he kept the details of his hand injury secret from all. Because I didn’t want my competitors to find out about it, I couldn’t give away an advantage.
"I can still remember those days of boxing with just one hand, but I had to fight on to keep my name up. My heart was not in it, so I had to keep fighting and keep my name up.
"I didn’t want to enter those fights, but I had to do them to be a world champion someday. I haven't thrown a right-hand hard since then.

"It's possible that people will question me about why I didn’t have the operation sooner, but I couldn’t. I was too determined to chase my dream of becoming a world champion and was fighting big fights.
"I was one the brightest prospects in the UK. The pressure was on me, and I had no choice but to fight. I couldn't afford six months of downtime to have an operation.
"I was getting paid a lot, so I didn’t want to cut off my TV deal. It was such a great deal. I was being paid for my fights, which is what the world champions get now.
"I had no choice but to continue fighting and keep my hands busy. I didn't want a second chance because it would have delayed my dream of becoming world champion.
