Amir Khan Exclusive: 'I Feel In The Best Condition I've Ever Been… I Think I've Got A Few More Fights Left In Me'

Amir Khan has no plans to retire after his fight with Kell Brook and says training for their long-awaited grudge match has strengthened his desire to continue his professional career.

Khan, 35, finally takes on Brook in Manchester on Saturday in a catchweight contest at 149lbs, the culmination of a near 20-year feud which stretches all the way back to the amateurs.

Khan suggested last month that he was planning to retire after the bout, writing in a post on Instagram: "People ask me what I'm doing after this fight. I'm done, man."

However, the former light-welterweight world champion has been revitalised by his pre-fight training camp and insists he is not yet ready to hang up his gloves.

"Before the training camp I remember thinking, 'Do I have it left in me?'," Khan told SPORTbible.

"Honestly the way that this camp has gone, the way that I've pushed myself against these younger fighters, running against them, outsparring them, outpunching them, outpointing them… I thought to myself, 'Wow, I've still got it in me to push it hard'.

"I was sparring guys who are younger and fresher than me, who are really good up and coming fighters.

"It was more of a thing that knowing that when you’re 35 it's like you should automatically feel a little bit old, but no - I feel in the best condition I’ve ever been.

"I think I’ve got a few more fights left in me."

To prepare for Brook, Khan travelled to the United States to link up with his former foe, undefeated three-weight world champion Terence Crawford and his trainer Brian 'BoMac' McIntyre in Colorado Springs.

Khan was forced to adapt quickly to a gruelling training camp, which featured hostile sparring sessions at high altitude and long runs through the snow-capped Rocky Mountains.
