Amir Khan vs Kell Brook odds and most likely round win for Manchester fight

Manchester plays host to a fiercely-anticipated boxing bout this evening, as Amir Khan and Kell Brook finally bring their rivalry to a head.

The pair have been at each other's throats for over a decade, with their rivalry spanning back to their amateur days.

Khan and Brook whet the appetite in the week with head-to-head face-offs in the press conference and following the weigh in.

Now, it's all set to come to a head and, with such a fierce rivalry, the betting is extremely close - but it's Khan who finds himself as a narrow underdog.

As shown by Oddschecker, Brook is 4/5 favourite to take the win while Khan is at 6/4 - with a draw given an outside shot at 22/1.

Rounds 7 to 9 are seen as the most likely to be where Brook takes home victory, with the Sheffield fighter 16/1 for triumph in the seventh and eighth, while he's 18/1 for the ninth.

An earlier win from the fourth round is ranked at 20/1, with the same odds for the fifth and sixth, and it's in this breakdown where Khan's perceived status as an underdog is truly shown.

While Khan is 6/4 to win, it's clear the bookies believe his best chance of a win is if the fight goes the distance - as his shortest odds of winning in a round come in the eighth round, priced at 35/1.
