Amir Khan vs Kell Brook predictions as Jamie Carragher agrees with Micah Richards

Amir Khan takes on Kell Brook tonight and members of the Sky Sports punditry panel have given their predictions for the all-British grudge bout.

Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Graeme Souness have revealed that they'll all be going to the fight at Manchester's AO Arena after covering Manchester City's match against Tottenham - which ended 3-2 to Spurs - on Saturday evening.

It's a night which boxing fans have waited the better part of a decade for with Khan and Brook finally facing off after years of rivalry.

There has been high demand for the fight, with tickets selling out and millions expected to be watching from home.

But what do former footballers and now leading pundits Carragher, Richards and Souness think? Ahead of the clash, the three panelists have given their predictions.

Jamie Carragher

"He's my big mate, so I've got to go for Kell Brook."

Micah Richards

"Khan's quick, but Kell Brook's got the spirit, I think I'm just going to go Kell Brook."

Graeme Souness

"I think Khan in terms of technique is fantastic, but Kell Brook is a warrior - I think it's a really hard call.

"I think they're both a little past their best, it would have been a great fight seven or eight years ago.

"I worry that Kell has been in a couple of really hard bouts - but the dislike for one another makes it a great fight."
