FRANKIE GAVIN is ready to take on the challenge which Amir Khan ducked by fighting IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook in a big British world title clash next month.

It was reported yesterday that a fight between Brook and Gavin has been agreed and could even be signed and announced officially by their promoter Eddie Hearn before the week is out.

Gavin will earn a career-highest payday — although nothing close to the multimillions allegedly offered to Khan — when he challenges Brook at the Millennium Dome in London on May 30.

The world title bid is a huge step up for Britain’s only world amateur champion, but the 29-year-old Brummie is confident his pedigree will give him an excellent chance of dethroning the unbeaten Yorkshireman.

“I’m not stupid. I’m not delusional. I’m going to have to perform out of my skin,” Gavin said.
