PREDICTIONS
- Bettingnews.com: Brook wins via KO/TKO
- Josh Taylor: “Early doors, it will be Khan, maybe with a little bit of speed and stuff, but I do think Kell will get used to it and time him and hit him with a good shot. I think Brook by knockout I’m going to say, rounds six to eight I would say.â€
- Conor Benn: “Who’s gonna win it? Ah, if I had to put my house on it I’d probably go Khan.”
