Former world champion Kell Brook has announced his retirement from boxing, three months after beating bitter rival Amir Khan.
Brook, who was crowned welterweight world champion in 2014, bows out at the age of 36 with a record of 40-3. His defeats came at the highest level against middleweight Gennady Golovkin, a mandatory title defence against Errol Spence, and against pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford.
Brook finally secured a clash with Khan in February after years of chasing his domestic foe. The Sheffield star dominated from the first bell before stopping his rival in the sixth round. Khan had been interested in pursuing a rematch despite the one-sided nature of the bout while Brook had also discussed a fight with Chris Eubank Jr. But he has no decided to hang up his gloves.
