The move was a somewhat surprising one. Khan challenged for Crawford's WBO welterweight title in April 2019 in a highly-anticipated pay-per-view matchup. While 'Bud' was a massive favorite, 'King' was confident he'd make it a fight. However, the U.K. native was dominated throughout.
Crawford floored the former champion in the first round. While Khan fought on valiently, he was comfortably behind in the fight and eventually finished in the sixth round.
Three years after the two fought in a championship bout, 'King' moved to the United States to train with his former foe for his upcoming grudge match against Brook.
'Bud' has even made the trip to the U.K. to support his friend-turned-foe this weekend. The champion is also familiar with Khan's opponent, as Crawford fought Brook the year after his showdown with 'King'. He defeated 'Special K' via fourth-round knockout in their 2020 WBO welterweight title fight.
Now, Brook will once again have to deal with Terence Crawford on Saturday night. However, this time, 'Bud' is in the role of trainer as he will try and will Amir Khan to victory over his longtime foe.
