“I’ve sacrificed so much time to train for this fight, they won’t remember all of my fights they’ll just remember me fighting Amir Khan," he said.
"No disrespect to Amir, but it felt so easy in there, I’m happy the chapter has closed on Amir Khan now.
"This is the icing on the cake in my career, I can feel at peace knowing I’ve beaten him. Do I want to carry on? I’m going to sit down with my family and consider my future in the sport.
"I would’ve wanted more of a clinical knockout, like how Canelo did. But he’s been fantastic for the sport, he’s a two-time world champion for a reason and I’m just happy that we got to fight."
Khan is now also facing the prospect of retirement having lost the opportunity to earn the bragging rights.
He is also at 35-years-old but broke his silence after the fight to suggest that his love for the sport is now dwindling.
Drama gripped the build-up to the fight with Khan even threatening not to pay Brook if his gloves were not altered.
However the pair were able to share an emotional reunion after the drama where they finally showed each other respect with a handshake.
