Amir Khan and Kell Brook continue to jaw about facing each other, something that recently saw a colorful exchange on Twitter.
Khan fired the first shot, claiming that Brook was ducking him.

Khan fired at Brook once again as he goated the IBF champion into facing someone in the top 10. The British southpaw followed that up by mocking the suggested split (50/50) if ever the fight would take place, stating the Brook is not yet ready to make such demands.
Apparently Brook’s manager Eddie Hearn had heard enough and tried to set the records straight.

From the looks of it, Hearn and Brook were more concerned about making the fight happen than the money involved. The first pitch was 80-20, which Hearn and Brook obviously found ridiculous.
But knowing that Khan won’t bite with an even split, Hearn countered with a seemingly fair bargain of 60-40.
made but enough of the insults. @AmirKingKhan we will make this easy for you 60-40 in your favour (Kell is World Champ) and you have it.

The exchange ended there and the ball is in Kahn's court. Will he bite?
Khan hit Brook for opting to face Kevin Bizier on Mar. 26 at the Sheffield Arena per Sky Sports. But as everyone knows, the match was made because Bizier is the mandatory challenger to Brook’s IBF welterweight title.
Looking back at the timeline between the two fighters, the original date set for the two to meet was previously rumored for May or June at Wembley Stadium in London. Right now nothing has been made official.
On his end, Khan was recently made the mandatory challenger by the WBC also via Sky Sports. He will eventually face the winner of the Danny Garcia vs. Robert Guerrero showdown.
