I 'm not delusional . I 'm going to have to perform out of my skin . But I 've definitely got it in me to do it . I 'm very confident Kell can be beaten and hopefully it 's someone with my skills who will do it. ’ Brook is desperate to fight Khan but his fellow Brit rejected the chance to face him at Wembley in June .
