AMIR KHAN has accused Kell Brook of racism ahead of their eagerly-anticipated grudge fight.
The 35-year-old pair have been at war for over a decade and will finally settle their differences in Manchester on Saturday.
And Khan used Thursday’s press conference to raise one trash-talk video he felt went too far.
The Bolton boxer accused Brook of firing a racial slur in his direction.
And Khan claimed: “That sounded racist to me, I want to know why he said that.”
Brook tried his best to explain and deflect the situation as Sky Sports presenter Adam Smith interjected to cool things down and change the topic.
It was the second controversial moment of the press conference as moments earlier Brook accused Khan of ‘w***ing’ on porn sites.
The jibe was in reference to a leaked image that surfaced of Khan allegedly masturbating over a video call in 2017.
Sky Sports were forced to quickly apologise to viewers for the bad language in a message on the screen.
The more publishable comments came at the start of the conference when Khan said: “I am worried about Kell’s health after the beating I give him, it will be like something he has never felt before.
“I am going to put him in his place, after 10 years I will put him in his place.
“He has been obsessed with me, a fanboy, I have been living in his head for so long I owe him rent.
“But we have done enough talking now so I just want to get in the ring and do a job on him.”
Brook barked back: “It goes back to our amateur days, he used to win championships at his weight and I did the same at the weight above.
“He did well at the Olympics and got a big pro signing on fee, we were both signed with Frank Warren and promised a fight but in interviews he would say he didn’t know who I was.
“But now we are three sleeps away and I will put him to sleep on Saturday night.”
