Amir Khan knocks out Lo Greco in 39 seconds on British return

LIVERPOOL, UK: Amir Khan's first session in a British ring for a long time saw him thump out Canada's Phil Lo Greco in an insignificant 39 seconds on Saturday.

The 31-year-old British boxer had not battled anyplace for a long time since being beaten by Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in Las Vegas in May 2016.

Also, the 2004 Olympic silver medallist squandered brief period in sending Lo Greco tumbling with a speedy one-two punch mix inside the opening 30 seconds.

Khan at that point stuck Lo Greco to the ropes previously the super-welterweight challenge finished minutes after it had begun.

Triumph left Khan on course for his hotly anticipated confrontation with British opponent Kell Brook, who was among those viewing at ringside on Saturday.

"I have been out the ring for a long time yet I was still in the exercise center buckling down, I have never taken a three day weekend. I needed to demonstrate a point returning - I was prepared to battle for 12 rounds, I needed to roll out a few improvements and Phil lo Greco is a perilous rival," Khan told the BBC.

"Make the most of my triumph. Khan's back. I was somewhat apprehensive, yet I am back with a huge explosion. I need to wind up a best on the planet this year or one year from now."

Khan, in any case, included: "I need to battle the best folks. In the event that it implies going up a division I will."

Concerning a session with Brook, Khan, most popular as of late for his 'wilderness' appearance in the British TV program 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here', stated: "That battle is something I am not hurrying and not fleeing from. I will battle Kell Brook and beat Kell Brook. Kell Brook has been living off my name for quite a while. I am a more grounded contender, a superior warrior.

"I'm not a contender to flee."

Be that as it may, a disinterested Brook stated: "He doesn't need the battle, he just kept running off.

"Amir, every one of the fans need the battle, I need the battle, he can go in the wilderness and pursue stars yet when he gets in there with me, I'll influence him to see stars."
