“I have been out the ring for two years but I was still in the gym working hard, I have never taken a day off. I wanted to prove a point coming back – I was trained to fight for 12 rounds, I had to make some changes and Phil lo Greco is a dangerous opponent,” Khan told the BBC. “Enjoy my victory. Khan’s back. I was a little nervous, but I am back with a big bang. I want to become a world champion this year or next year.”
Khan, however, added: “I want to fight the best guys. If it means going up a division I will.” As for a bout with Brook, Khan, most famous recently for his “jungle” appearance in the British television show “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here”, said: “That fight is something I am not rushing and not running away from. I will fight Kell Brook and beat Kell Brook. Kell Brook has been living off my name for a long time. I am a stronger fighter, a better fighter.
I’m not a fighter to run away.” But an unimpressed Brook said: “He doesn’t want the fight, he just ran off. Amir, all the fans want the fight, I want the fight, he can go in the jungle and chase stars but when he gets in there with me, I’ll make him see stars. “
