The duo have won some epic fights during their storied careers and have each won titles, but next year they will battle for pride and supremacy while endeavouring to add to their great legacies.

In an intense face-off during today’s press conference, the pair were not only face-to-face but nose-to-nose, not once, but twice, before security intervened on both occasions.

Ben Shalom, BOXXER’s founder and CEO, said: “This is a fight every boxing fan has wanted to see for years and we are delighted to be able to deliver this legacy-defining clash for them, live and exclusively on Sky Sports Box Office.

“Khan and Brook have been asked about this fight for a decade, despite their success as world champions, and now we get the answer in Manchester on February 19.

“We’ve covered some of the biggest fights in the careers of Khan and Brook, but this one is special – a heated feud has simmered for years and there’s so much pride at stake.
