Kell Brook was straight in the ring after Khans victory in Liverpool confronting his old rival, but it seems Khan is more focused on continuing his assault on a welterweight title shot.

Id like to fight Broner, Khan said in the post-fight press conference.

It would be nice to see the winner of Broner-Vargas. I think that would be a good fight at 147.

Khan insisted inside the ring that it was Brook that was blocking the fight from happening.

Brook moved up to 154 pounds this year after losing his IBF welterweight strap to Errol Spence Jr last summer.

And it seems Brooks move up in weight has Khan thinking it would make more sense for him to stay at welterweight.

He said: Kells a good fighter. Hes a 154, Im still campaigning at 147.

When I sit down with Eddie well know what moves to make.

Maybe at a catchweight. Im not running scared. My performance proves it. Id not one of those fighters that would ever be scared of anyone.
