Kell Brook snubs potential retirement rumours, as he claims ‘I’m a fighter, I love to fight’

Kell Brook has insisted that he wants to carry on fighting despite previous rumours of a potential retirement after his fight with Amir Khan.

Brook sealed a dominate victory over rival Khan to earn a sixth-round knock-out in Manchester on Saturday after years of speculation surrounding the blockbuster fight between the two former champions.

Now the dust has settled and the pair have finally had the bout that they and boxing fans wanted to happen, many are wondering whether it could be the last time that either man steps into the squared circle.

However, Brook shut down those talks as he spoke with Boxxer at the Josh Taylor v TaylorCatterall fight on Saturday in Glasgow.

Taylor beat Jack Catterall to stay undisputed super-lightweight champion on a split-decision.

‘I’m a fighter, i love to fight, i didn’t have a mark on me in that last fight,’ Brook said.

‘I’m ready to go again, so show me the money baby.’

The Sheffield-born fighter was however full of praise for his recent opponent Khan for not quitting – despite taking some heavy shots throughout the fight.

‘I’m still on cloud nine, i’m absolutely buzzing, it was a masterclass performance. The atmosphere, the occasion, it was brilliant.

‘To be expected, i put that pressure on myself, i know i was going to deliver. 

‘It’s been a long time coming, he has never wanted to fight me, but i’ve got to take my hat off to him as he took some good shots and he never quit in there. 

‘He kept trying to hold on and get through it, so the respect is there now that we’ve shared the ring together.’

Boxxer CEO Ben Shalom says Amir Khan has three weeks to activate a rematch clause with rival Brook.

Brook, however, probably has his sights set on a new opponent, especially Chris Eubank Jr calling him after his victory over Khan. 

Eubank Jr has a score to settle with Brook, who snatched a blockbuster clash with Gennady Golovkin from him in 2016, while Benn is a star on the rise having toppled experienced, yet declining, fighters in the past year.
