Khan and Brook to face 'six-figure' fine if they miss 149lbs weight limit

Khan and Brook to face 'six-figure' fine if they miss 149lbs weight limit

AMIR KHAN and Kell Brook will face a "six-figure" fine for each pound above the agreed weight limit, promoter Ben Shalom said.

Both the British boxers will clash in the ring on February 19 at 149lbs, two pounds above the welterweight category, with both agreeing over the weight division they would be fighting.


"They are both taking the weight seriously," said BOXXER promoter Shalom, who confirmed about the hefty fine if the boxers weigh above 149lbs.

"There shouldn't be problems with the weight because they are so motivated.

"Despite the huge financial penalties, we expect both fighters to come prepared."

During a pre-fight press conference, Khan and Brook have already had heated exchanges.

Brook had told Khan: "I have bent over backwards for your demands."

Khan shot back at Brook: "You are half retired now. You look overweight!"

Shalom added: "I am hearing that Amir is in amazing shape and is training really well with Terence Crawford's team.

"We are going to have to see the very best of Brook.

"I spoke to Brook's nutritionist who can't believe the progress they are making.

"They say Brook hasn't been this motivated since his fight with Errol Spence Jr.

"This means everything to Brook. They are seeing a different side to him.

"We will see the best of both guys. They are taking it extremely seriously - they will train on Christmas Day!"

'Ramayana' channels the spirit of 'Amar Chitra Katha' with Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's first-look comic

Highlights

  • The makers of Ramayana have revealed a limited-edition promotional comic ahead of the film's trailer launch
  • The artwork reveals first looks at Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash and the wider ensemble
  • The comic's visual storytelling recalls the style made famous by Amar Chitra Katha, although it is not an official collaboration

Instead of unveiling another set of character posters, the makers of Ramayana have turned to a comic book to introduce audiences to their mythological world. The limited-edition release draws comparisons with the storytelling style popularised by Amar Chitra Katha, India's iconic mythological comic series, although it has not been created or published by Amar Chitra Katha.

Revealed during a promotional event in Delhi, the collector's comic offers the first detailed illustrated look at the film's principal characters, kingdoms and visual design ahead of the worldwide trailer launch on 24 July. It forms part of the film's international marketing campaign, with copies distributed at launch events and showcased at San Diego Comic-Con 2026.
