Amir Khan's former coach gives advice ahead of Kell Brook fight - 'Be patient and don't be first'

Amir Khan's former coach gives advice ahead of Kell Brook fight - 'Be patient and don't be first'DAZN
Amir Khan and Kell Brook go head-to-head this coming Saturday in Manchester.

It's fight week and everyone associated with the sport of boxing is having their say on Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook.

One of those being Khan's former trainer Clarence 'Bones' Adams, who believes Khan needs to be patient when he steps inside the ring on Saturday night. 

"Three words: Don’t be first. He’s fast, so his whole career he has been first, but that’s what gets him in trouble. Be patient and don't be first," Adams told MyBettingSites

"My thinking is this: what happened throughout his career when he threw first? He makes mistakes, he gets timed because no one taught him other than that.

"I was trying to have him be more patient, take his time, just like he did in the Dib fight.

"He was more patient, he took his time, he fought perfectly. That’s why I thought I'd get the call again.

Being patient wasn’t just about that particular fight, it’s about prolonging his career and his whole life.

"It’s the same thing with one, he needs to be patient, don’t go first and capitalise on Brook's mistakes.”

Adams however did have concerns when it came to Khan's training setup and whether Briant 'Bomac' Mcintyre has an active role in the camp.

"But I don’t know about the people around him training him. I haven’t seen [lead trainer] Bomac around him that much, it’s always other people.

"I haven’t seen Bomac in any of the videos, I don’t know who got him, or who these people are."
