You have the potential to fix every thing you messed up and prove your worth to the people once again, but instead you chose to go on a tv show. Nice.

A prevailing theme of some boxing fans’ criticism seems to include a wanting of Khan to take on old rival Kell Brook in a long awaited showdown in 2018.
Whether or not it happens, remains to be seen.
