Former boxing world champion Kell Brook has issued a heartfelt apology days after he was filmed appearing to snort a white powder.
The video appeared to show the retired boxer bent over a coffee table in his kitchen, and using a roll-up to consume the powder. More white powder is visible on the table and the 36-year-old muttered "nice" after the act.
Brook's manager later denied his client was guilty of wrongdoing but the fighter himself has now apologised, tweeting: "I messed up. I hold my hands up and want to apologise to my family, gym, friends and fans. It’s no secret that I struggle with mental health and I'm finding retirement really hard. I'm actively seeking the help I need to get me on the right path. Again I apologise for the hurt I’ve caused."
