Kell Brook weighs in under weight limit for Amir Khan showdown

Kell Brook weighs in under the weight limit for his showdown with rival Amir Khan on Saturday night.

The former IBF welterweight champion had been contracted to make 149lbs or he would face a significant fine for every pound that he was over the agreed limit.

However, hitting the scales ahead of his opponent, Brook weighed in at 148.3lbs, somewhat of a surprise given his previous struggles to make welterweight during the latter stages of his career.

Meanwhile, ex light-welterweight world champion Khan came in at 147.3lbs, with both fighters now needing to keep under a contracted check-weight before the fight in Manchester.
