KELL BROOK has hinted at a sensational return to the ring – less than two years after hanging up his gloves.
The former IBF welterweight champion brought the curtain down on his career in May 2022, two months after sensationally stopping Amir Khan in their grudge match.
Brook, 37, has flirted with the prospect of returning to the ring over the last 12 months and a clash with Conor Benn.
But a Battle of Britain with Chris Eubank Jr is now taking the fancy of the Sheffield slugger, so long as the money is right.
He told LuckyBlock.com: “Chris Eubank Jr would be in the driving seat for me if I did come back because of the drug allegation hanging over Conor Benn’s head.
“He’s not sanctioned by the British Boxing Board of Control, so he’s a little bit out of the picture.

“But obviously the two names there, Eubank and Benn, could both excite me enough to get me back in the ring.
“If the correct figures were mentioned I could be tempted to put the pipe and slippers away and get the gloves back on.
“Everywhere I go people are saying they want me out of retirement and that boxing’s dead without me.
“Apart from me fighting Amir Khan, what fights have really got people excited recently?”

Brook nearly came to blows with Benn at Katie Taylor’s first clash with Chantelle Cameron in Dublin in May.
But Special K has no ill will towards the son of British boxing great Nigel, saying: “I think deep down Benn has got respect for me.
“But he’s a young fighter and got a bit carried away with himself, wanting to be in the limelight.
“A lot of things have happened in his life over the past couple of years, with these drug allegations and before that he was a pay-per-view fighter.
“He gave me a bit of a push in Dublin.
“He wants to fight, he wants the big fights, but he’s a young kid and he’s got this problem hanging over his head now.
“We’ll see what happens with the appeal and if he gets his licence. I think it’ll always be a cloud over him.”
