Kell Brook, the former world champion, has once again stirred the boxing world with his bold opinions, this time backing his longtime rival Amir Khan over YouTube star KSI. In a recent interview, Brook made it clear that he believes Khan would have no issues in taking on KSI inside the ring, even though the YouTuber-turned-boxer has made waves with his rise in the sport.
Brook, who has shared a heated rivalry with Khan over the years, has often been vocal about the dynamics of the sport. Despite their history, it’s clear that Brook sees Khan as a more seasoned and skilled fighter compared to KSI, who has only recently started making a name for himself in the boxing world.
Brook’s Comments on Amir Khan vs. KSI
“KSI is not in Amir Khan’s league. I’ve seen KSI’s fights, and while he’s improved, he’s not in the same class as someone like Amir. Khan’s speed, footwork, and experience at the top level would be too much for KSI,” Brook said. “Amir would breeze through him, no problem at all.”
Brook’s comments are sure to fuel the ongoing debate about the legitimacy of crossover boxing matches. While KSI has gained a massive following, Brook believes that the gap between fighters with professional backgrounds and social media stars is still significant.
Brook Praises Oleksandr Usyk
Along with his comments on Khan and KSI, Kell Brook also took the opportunity to praise one of the most dominant and technically gifted boxers in the world today: Oleksandr Usyk. Brook was full of admiration for the Ukrainian heavyweight champion, who has taken the boxing world by storm with his skillful performances.
“Usyk is on another level. What he’s done in the heavyweight division is incredible,” Brook said. “The way he moves, his technique, and his boxing IQ are out of this world. I’ve never seen anyone control a fight like Usyk does.”

Brook was particularly impressed by Usyk’s ability to move up from cruiserweight and conquer the heavyweight division, becoming the undisputed champion. Usyk’s boxing style, which combines speed, agility, and intelligent footwork, has earned him widespread respect from boxing fans and pundits alike.
“I don’t think anyone can touch him right now,” Brook continued. “He’s the best in the division by a mile, and he’s shown that time and time again. He’s just on a different level, and I don’t see anyone beating him anytime soon.”
Brook’s admiration for Usyk is not surprising, as many in the boxing world recognize the Ukrainian as one of the most complete and skillful fighters of his generation. With Usyk’s recent wins, including his dominant victory over Anthony Joshua, it’s clear that his reputation as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers is well-earned.
Conclusion
While Kell Brook continues to voice his opinions on the state of boxing, his comments about Amir Khan and KSI will likely spark further discussions in the boxing community. Brook clearly believes that Khan’s experience would be far too much for KSI, and his praise of Oleksandr Usyk reflects a deep respect for the Ukrainian’s unparalleled skill set.
As Brook himself remains active in the boxing world, it’s clear that his sharp insights and strong opinions will continue to shape conversations in the sport, whether he’s talking about rivalries, potential matchups, or the future of the heavyweight division.
