Termine » Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean t

Talks for a much-mooted fight between Amir Khan and Kell Brook are underway, says Eddie Hearn, though the promoter says there is still a very, very long way to go before an agreement is made.For the first time, however, Hearn is adamant there is a real desire from both fighters to finally secure a date.Matchrooms Hearn is exploring a possible fight between the two -- which would be Britains biggest outside of the heavyweight division -- for May 2017.After years of Brook aggressively pursuing his rival, Khan recently became the aggressor on Twitter when, in a post referring to the IBF welterweight champion, he wrote: Ready when you are.Hearn believes Brooks recent fight with Gennady Golovkin has grown his profile to the extent Khan is finally tempted to face him, but has also stressed that previous negotiations have progressed further than the present ones without actually succeeding.Khan recognises the size of the fight, hes up for the challenge, Hearn said.Kells value has increased considerably, and there seems to be a real desire from both sides to get it done, but weve been here before.Weve held talks before, but theres never been the calling out from Amir that there is now, so thats why I say there seems a real desire from both sides. Not just both sides but both fighters.Theres a very, very long way to go, but well work quietly behind closed doors to try to finally get a fight over the line that I believe has to happen.Its still early days. Weve been further down the road before in terms of negotiations than we are now, and I was confident then. Im hopeful rather than confident. But when both fighters are calling each other out, its always a good sign.One possible reason Khan, 30, could be tempted is the likelihood Brook will struggle to return to the 147 pound welterweight limit having challenged Golovkin at middleweight.In Khans past fight, against Canelo Alvarez, was also fought at middleweight. Like Brook, he was stopped, but unlike Brook he has no history of struggling to make 147 pounds.Hearn insists Brook, also 30, planned to return to welterweight regardless, perhaps to defend his title against Americas Errol Spence, and that both the fighter and those around him are confident he can still make weight.When we had our meeting a couple of weeks ago the plan was very much I dont want to vacate my title, therefore Im staying at welterweight, Hearn said.Hes spoken to a nutritionist, to his team, and we feel like he can make welterweight. Can he be as effective as at 154 pounds? We dont know, but he can make welterweight.This was all so he could fight Errol Spence, before the Khan fight looked possible.Khans a big name, has a high profile. There are other options for him as there are for Brook. John Tavares Jersey .

Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself.

Tuesdays surgery at Atlantas Piedmont Hospital was performed by Dr. Xavier Duralde and Hawks team physician Dr. Michael Bernot. All Black flanker Sam Cane has been cleared of concussion and is set to start for the Chiefs in their Super Rugby semi-final against the Hurricanes in Wellington on Saturday.Cane was replaced as a precaution at halftime during the Chiefs 60-21 quarter-final win over the Stormers in Cape Town last Saturday.Coach Dave Rennie says subsequent testing has shown no ill-effects for the 24-year-old, as they had suspected.Hes bounced back really well, Rennie said.We thought it was pretty minor and he was grumpy that we took him off but it was the right call and were confident he will be ready to go.The news was not so good for veteran Stephen Donald, who has been ruled out with a shoulder injury.The former All Blacks playmaker was played out of position at second five-eighth in Cape Town.His logical replacement is two-Test centre Seta Tamanivalu, with Anton Lienert-Brown likely to move in one spot to wear the No.12 jersey.Fijian-born Tamanivalu missed the trip to South Africa with a knee injury he suffered in the final regular season loss to the Highlanders - a result which has sent them on a travel-heavy play-off schedule.Rennie says Tamanivalus return is welcome against the Hurriccanes, having scored twice against them in the Chiefs 28-27 win when the teams met in Wellington in April.ddddddddddddSeta will be pretty important. Hes a big man who carries hard and he draws a lot of attention so its nice to have that option with Beaver (Donald) being no good.Japanese World Cup captain Michael Leitch could also make a return, having been out of rugby for over two months after dislocating his thumb against the Rebels in May.Rennie says the 27-year-old No.8 will need to come through contact sessions without difficulty this week if he is to play.Rennie isnt reading too much into the result of the thrilling contest when the teams met, with both sides scoring four tries.The Hurricanes had a chance to pull off victory but reserve back Jason Woodward spilled a pass with the tryline in sight in the final play.Theyre looking a lot sharper and theyre certainly on a roll having knocked over a lot of big teams, Rennie said.They had the toughest run into the play-offs and ended up the number one seed so its a big challenge for us this week.
