    That is a coup for Warren. Khan does my head in and he is delusional beyond belief but he is a big name and a household name which few boxers are in the UK

    Skeete ends Khan and that will also be the end of the deal

    Good signing for Warren, Khan will still do numbers regardless of what we think of him

    Skeete is also a good comeback fight, even as a Brook fan I'd be more interested in Skeete Khan than Brook and that guy he's fighting

    It would be a great signing for Warren. But I don’t see Skeete fighting in February and March? Does he get pulled from the other show or does he just fight an absolute no mark (probably would have been anyway) on the show and go through the motions preserving himself for Khan?

    Lol the guy Gavin beat and we all know what khans views were on brook v Gavin
    Haroon ain't making any waves either after all the shyte he slung at brook he surely as to hold himself to the same standard pro for how long and fought absolutely no one lol

    It makes pure sense for khan though path of least resistance to a world ranking and the British title he be littled for years

    Khan be a great signing for tv figures but won't do much for attendances as he's not a ticket seller. Signing makes sense as it will keep him away from Brook.

    Must say, I thought Gavin was lucky to get that decision.

    Makes sense considering the weakest welterweight champion is the WBO holder. Warren will be pulling a few strings to get Khan in there before Horn makes a difficult defense. Horn vs Mundine and Khan in a warm-up fight and then Khan vs Horn (which they'll no doubt stick on PPV).

    Then they'll be praying Khan can come through and put his first defense against any old 'name' on PPV.

    At that point he'll probably have to fight someone better and will duly be knocked out. This is all best case scenario of course.
