Kell Brook and Conor Benn were separated by security after a heated altercation ringside at Katie Taylor's fight in Dublin.
British star Benn is currently out of action as he awaits a comeback fight following the collapse of his contest with Chris Eubank Jr last year after he failed a drug test. Meanwhile Brook has declared his retirement from the sport after beating bitter rival Amir Khan in February last year, but it is likely he could be convinced to return for a fight.
Both high-profile fighters were in attendance at Katie Taylor's shock defeat to Chantelle Cameron on Saturday night at the 3Arena in Dublin, having previously teased a meeting in the ring. However tensions escalated outside of the squared circle, while 'Special K' was giving an interview to Matchroom Boxing.
