Amir Khan is not going to stop boxing after losing to Kell Brook. He wants a rematch
Brook won bragging rights, leaving Khan without a choice.
The famously difficult to negotiate fight included a rematch clause.
Shalom, who is running the Boxxer promotion in association with Sky Sports, says that Khan, the British boxing legend, is not ready to leave.
TalkSPORT was informed by him that he didn't intend to stop fighting, regardless of whether I give him a rematch.
"That's up for him, he is a fighter, and he knows the fight better than anyone.
"He won’t stop, I’m convinced by hearing what the camp is saying, and what he’s saying that he wants to keep going.
He feels that he may have misunderstood his camp. He can decide. He wants to keep going, even though I don't believe the rematch is feasible right now.
Shalom was asked what would happen if Khan activates his rematch clause. He replied, "Look, it must work commercially."

Khan, 35 was defeated by Brook in six rounds. The pair would need to make a deal again to confirm a surprise sequel.
Shalom stated: "It must work. It's also a split. He can decide, but Sky and Kell must also agree.
"We'll see. He's got a few weeks to decide what he wants.
"It's upto him at the end, but I don’t think it’ll be the rematch."
