Amir Khan vs Kell Brook live stream how to watch boxing online from anywhere

Bitter rivalry dates back to a teenage sparring match

They were kids when the mutual hatred started, and more than half a lifetime later, Amir Khan (34-5) and Kell Brook (39-3) finally have a chance to settle their differences in the ring. It's a fight that's been nearly two decades in the making, so read on as we explain how to watch a Khan vs Brook live stream and catch all the boxing action online from anywhere in the world.

The bitterness has been fermenting for 18 years, ever since a fiercely contested sparring match in 2004. Khan wiped the floor with Brook, according to Khan, while Brook insists that he gave Khan a hiding. Brook turned pro months later, while Khan went to the Olympics and won silver.

Khan peaked early, unifying the light-welterweight division in 2011, but developed a reputation for having a glass jaw. Former welterweight world champion Brook also fell short on the very biggest stage.

Brook has always been the weightier fighter and the more powerful puncher but if Khan's hands are still lightning quick he could exploit Brook's sometimes lax defence. It's time for long-standing scores to be settled, so follow our guide below to watch a Khan vs Brook live stream online from anywhere.

Who is Amir Khan?

Bolton bruiser Amir "King" Khan shot to fame at the 2004 Athens Olympics, as he fought his way to a silver medal aged 17.

The former unified light-welterweight world champion held the WBA belt from 2009 to 2012, and the IBF belt for part of 2011. He lost both to Lamont Peterson in 2011, but only the former was reinstated when Peterson failed a drugs test.

Khan has also challenged for the WBC and The Ring light-welterweight titles, the WBC and The Ring middleweight titles, and the WBO welterweight title, but fell short on each occasion, to Danny García, Canelo, and Terence Crawford respectively.

Now aged 35, more than two and a half years have passed since his last fight, and there have been rumours that he could hang up the gloves after facing Kell Brook.

Who is Kell Brook?

Sheffield slugger Kell "Special K" Brook is the same age as Khan, but was embarking on a professional career away from the limelight as his opponent was becoming a global star.

His first notable fight came four years later, but it wasn't until 2014 that he won his first major belt, the IBF welterweight title, which he held until 2017. Errol Spence Jr. brought his reign to an end at Bramall Lane, home of his beloved Sheffield United.

Brook has also challenged for the WBC, IBF, and IBO middleweight titles and the WBO welterweight title, but lost on both occasions, to Gennady Golovkin and Terence Crawford.

The defeat to Crawford just over a year ago was his most recent fight and, aged 35, there's talk that Brook also has imminent retirement plans.
