AMIR KHAN has warned 'desperate ' Kell Brook to forget about a 2015 Wembley domestic dust-up.
The IBF world champ's promoter Eddie Hearn reckons he's already booked the national stadium for a June 13 cruncher with the Bolton bomber.
That t was news to Khan as he was basking in the glow of his brilliant Las Vegas destruction of Devon Alexander on Saturday night.
Khan fancies destroying Brook at some point - it's just that the 28-year-old says there are bigger fish to fry right now.
Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are both in his sights before any battle of Britain comes his way.
Khan, who will donate his £20,000 shorts worn against Alexander to charity, said: "They haven't spoken to me about anything.
"Brook's people don't know what is happening in my career, they can't start booking places like that.
"To be honest it is disrespectful. I don't know anything about it yet he's already booking venues.
"I don't know how desperate he is, but that's like me saying to Floyd, "Hey I have booked Wembley for us and you have to come and fight me next'.
"If he has booked it let him fight there. I can't believe he is rushing into this big fight with me, especially coming off the back of a serious injury. Surely he would want an easy fight rather than me.
"He wants me because of the money. It will be huge in the UK. I am not saying no because I want that fight at some time
"Stylistically if we fight the same way as we did against Alexander we will beat Kell Brook."
Khan hopes to have his next fight sealed by the middle of January. And now his deals with TV Showtime and Golden Boy promotions have expired, the two-time world champ is a free agent who holds all the aces.
The former Olympic silver medalist is in a superb position to negotiate the fight of his dreams.
Khan added: "I am just waiting and see where the path takes me. I am chasing the big super-fights and hopefully I will find out in the next couple of weeks when I sit down with Al Hayman (his US advisor) and Golden Boy.
"I don't want to miss my chance against Floyd or Manny. If I fight Kell Brook they might have retired before that, we don't know when he (Mayweather) might call is a day and that is why I am focusing on the big fights.
FIGHT: Khan believes he has more important fights than Brook [GETTY]
"Kell Brook would be big in UK but not in US. Fighting Floyd will make me a global super star. It would make me huge.
"I am older and wiser I have been on this scene for such a long time. I am more mature. I won't let the entire name calling get to me. I am going to be cool and calm."
Mayweather dropped a bomb on the eve of Khan's unanimous win over Alexander by insisting he's finally ready to fight the Philippine legend.
The Bolton ace wasn't listening though.
He admitted: "I didn't even know Floyd has talked about Pacquiao until about an hour before the fight. I was so focused I didn't think about it and anyway.
"Floyd said he would fight me last May and that never happened. He likes to mention names but I am going to leave it to my team.
