Khan and Brook may have a chance to redeem themselves after failing in their careers, but will they both survive with dignity?

AMIR KHAN, Kell Brook and Kell Brook have the chance to sign off in style. However, boxing is perhaps the most self-destructive sport.

Khan, 34, was a Team GB Bolton hero. He won silver at the 2004 Olympics, as a sensational 17 year-old, and went on to win light-welter world titles.

Amir Khan, Kell Brook and Kell Brook will be toe-to-toe in the ring on Feb.

Brook, 35, from Sheffield is the boy-next door whose brilliance means that he should've achieved more than just his four-fight IBF Welterweight World title reign.

Both veterans should keep their legacies intact and can get one last payday in February for their retirement cash-out clash. This will be after they have settled their decade-long feud.

Can the two veterans keep their dignity when they are under the increasing pressure of paying-per-view sales?

Khan was bizarrely found guilty of telling Brook, a married father-of-2, to get out of his way and confirm that he is gay.

Brook, who is always less interested in attention than the other, has given his nemesis Amir Khan Khan-dashian the nickname after the fame-begging American celebrity.

There are concerns that this could lead to something very dark.

Both men had in-ring brilliance. Brook's win over Shawn Porter to the 2014 World Title is one of the most overlooked away wins for Brits abroad. However, both men also have a tendency to let themselves down.

David Haye is an all-time great, but his grubby attempt to get every pound by promoting his last two Tony Bellew fights should be a lasting memory.

Inspiration can be found in Ricky Hatton, a UK icon who used his last fight to experience an emotional and cathartic experience. He bowed with honour and adulation even though he lost.

Brook lost three of his six previous bouts and required facial surgery for the cheek fractures Gennady Gorlovkin and Errol Spencer inflicted upon him.

Khan, who has proven his bravery many times, quit his 2019 bout with Terence Crawford following a dubious low blow.

This bout will be a disappointing one compared to their stellar primes.

It offers both men the chance to find redemption and peace of mind in their long retirements, after they have both failed to realize their enormous early potential.

Two middle-aged millionaires, who are in their mid-twenties, can do a decent job of media duties and give their fans one great memory when they win.

We can only expect a few faded forces to throw grubby innuendos during the build-up, and then nothing more within the ring.

Brook and Khan both deserve to be included in the British boxing legends list.

Hatton, Herol, Luke Campbell, and Frank Bruno were all world champions, but they were all beloved by the British boxing community for their dedication.

Brook and Khan presumably have more wealth than anyone else, but they now have the chance to save and protect their reputations.


Khan and Brook may have a chance to redeem themselves after failing in their careers, but will they both survive with dignity?

Although both men accomplished so much more than their critics or biggest fans, there is still a niggling belief that they could have done more.

This bout will be their last chance to show us their undoubted brilliance, with their world titles secured in the record books and their family fortunes for at least a generation.

They will grab the glory with both gloves on and let the last chance to trash-talk their ways to more PPV dollars slip by their fingers.
