After repeatedly calling out Amir Khan, Kell Brook believes he is close to fighting the two time world champion.
Khan previously revealed that he had talks with Brook's promoter Eddie Hearn about a blockbuster domestic showdown. Brook has welcomed the new developments and is convinced that he is just one fight away from the highly-anticipated British best welterweight showdown at Wembley.
The 29-year-old boxer is confident that his upcoming clash with Khan can replicate the success of Carl Froch-George Groves II, which drew a crowd of around 80,000 to the national stadium.
However, Brook must defend his IBF welterweight title first in October in order for his clash with Khan to be possible.
"I know that talks are on the way. It looks like British fans might finally get the fight that is well overdue,” Brook is quoted by Sky Sports.
"I’m due to fight in October and I think he is expected to fight in November, so let’s get those wins and build towards a huge summer showdown next year.
"It will fill any open-air arena. I think it will build into an even bigger fight, so we might have to build it up a little bit more.
"It would mean everything, especially being involved in boxing all my life. It doesn’t get any bigger than walking out in your own country, with a packed out stadium, full of people anticipating the fight."
Brook's feud with Khan started way back when the pair had sparring sessions in their amateur days and boasted that they were better than the other.
