The dominant Brook defied a pre-fight backstage row over his gloves - having to change them in the ring - to produce a superb performance full of power, poise and expert timing and stop his nemesis 51 seconds into the sixth round of Saturday night’s electric bout in Manchester, with referee Victor Loughlin stepping in to end the contest after a brave but determined Khan had been badly rocked several times but would not quit.
