AMIR KHAN is training alongside ex-opponent Terence Crawford to beat common enemy Kell Brook.
The 35-year-old rivals are set to finally fight on February 19 ending years of drawn out negotiations.
And for the fight of his life, Khan switched camps to join US trainer Brian ‘Bomac’ Mcintyre, in Nebraska and then Colorado.
Mcintyre in 2019 cornered Crawford, 34, in the WBO welterweight champion’s win over the British boxing legend.
Then a year later Brook was beaten by the pound-for-pound star, not returning since.
It means Crawford – having beaten both – is the perfect advisor for Khan heading into the bitter grudge match.
But he is taking his role as camp mate to new heights, providing Khan with coaching and sparring.
A video released revealed Crawford holding pads for the former light-welterweight champ.

And Khan hailed the unbeaten American for their sparring sessions in camp and his new trainer Mcintyre.
He told Sky Sports: “I’m more confident.
“The way I’ve gone into training camp, and had a few sparring rounds with Crawford, and my sparring work and pad work with Bo-Mac and everyone, it’s back.
“I feel like when I was 25, 26, and at the peak of my career. I can’t see Kell Brook beating me.
“I’m a better skilled fighter, I’ve been in there with better opposition, but look, come fight night, it’s time to show my skills off.
“I’m just going to keep calm, I’m not going to think too much or get over confident, because at the end of the day you can’t get too confident about this because one punch can change a fight.
“I know what I’m doing. I’ve been in this position before. It’s all about staying focused and just sticking to your game plan.”
