KELL BROOK was urged to report OVERWIGHT for the grudge match against Amir Khan, even though he would have to pay a PS100,000. fine.

Johnny Nelson, a former champion in cruiserweight, encouraged Brook to bring OVERWEIGHT to his grudge match and pay the six figure fine.
Brook has stated publicly in the past that Brook has had difficulty reaching the welterweight limit at 147lbs.
The 35-year old could also face similar problems this weekend.
Nelson, a former champ, believes that Khan will win the fight regardless of his weight and suggests that Khan could be subject to a weight penalty.
Sky Sports spoke to him and he stated: "That's what they have to do."

"They must pay the fine because it's one or the other. I know what I think the man is weighing, and if it will make a difference, pay the fine.
"If you bring in a few pounds more than that, the fight will go on because he would've double bluffed me. If you are going to squeeze my down for this, I will come in under the weight and pay the penalty.
"But, my argument is why wouldn't you want to box one of the best versions of yourself?"
"But, you know what? Kell wanted it so bad, would it be more bragging right for Kell beating Khan at (147) pounds?"
