Welterweight star Kell Brook has said that he would like a domestic showdown with Amir Khan following his emphatic win over Ricky Hatton's conqueror Vyacheslav Senchenko.

According to Metro.co.uk, Brook, who has been on the verge of a world title shot for the last year, underlined his credentials with a fourth-round stoppage of Senchenko in Sheffield on Saturday.

Now the 27-year-old wants to finally nail down a shot at Alexander at the fourth time of asking following three postponed match-ups due to injuries, the report said.

However, the Yorkshireman would be equally happy with lucrative, high-profile showdowns with long-standing rival Khan or up-and-coming Broner, the report added.

He said that he wanted Broner and Khan, adding that he wants the massive fights and does not want to leave boxing without being in with the top guys in his division.

Brook added that he was excited about all the possible opponents, as he had a history with Devon, the Khan talk had been going on for a while and the new kid, Broner, who talks trash and pretends to be something he is not, he can also get it.
