Brook has enjoyed a remarkable rise from his humble beginnings in a council house in Sheffield.
And the man nicknamed Special K has overcome TWO stabbings to keep his boxing dream alive.
In 2014, he earned his crowning glory – defeating Shawn Porter to win the IBF welterweight title.
Outside the ring he has had the loving support of his glamorous wife Lindsey who is always ringside cheering on his beau.
Background
Brook began boxing when he was just nine at the Ingle Gym in Steel City.
His father took him in an effort to help his lad channel his energy more positively.
The gym, steeped in history thanks to household names Jonny Nelson and Prince Naseem Hamed coming through its doors, proved to be Brook’s safehaven.

He impressed his trainers with his potential and began his amateur career aged just 12.
In 2003, he fought for England at the Four Nations Junior Tournament – winning gold. Days later, aged just 18, he turned pro.
Big dreams
Brook steadily moved through the gears early on in his boxing career, winning belts and earning recognition.

In 2008, he knocked out Barrie Jones and won the vacant British welterweight title.
Then, almost two years later, he swiftly dispatched of Pole Krzysztof Bienias in six rounds.
Brook added to his titles by defeating Matthew Hatton, younger brother of Ricky, by unanimous decision in 2012.
But, away from the ring he was involved in scrapes that could have cut short his sporting achievements.
Stabbings
Before becoming British champ, Brook suffered a nasty stabbing to his buttocks after an incident in his hometown.
However, worst was to come in 2012 when he was away on holiday in Tenerife.
After befriending punters in a bar, he ended up in an apartment with another man.
Things turned ugly in the early hours after they were drinking – with Brook claiming he was the victim of an unprovoked attack.
The man slashed Brook’s thigh with what was described as a machete three times.
He told the Daily Mail: “This guy was stood over me, shouting and swearing. I am trying to scramble away.
“I was thinking about my daughter, that I need to get away. I was covered in blood, panicking, feeling so drained and weak from the loss of blood. I feared for my life.”

Brook managed to get away, and was found on the street passed out before being rushed to hospital.
His injuries required 32 metal staples, but in truth it could’ve been far worse.
Crowing glory
Two years after his horror in Spain, Brook would achieve his greatest success.
Fighting at the StubHub Center in Carson, California he became the IBF World Welterweight champion with a majority decision over former champion Shawn Porter – the clear favourite.
Landing 158 of his 441 thrown punches, he outboxed the American to claim the title.
Afterwards, he hilariously revealed he didn’t sleep for three days just to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.
He told The BBC: “I think I’d have to say [the highlight would be] winning the world title.
“Obviously, going to Carson, California, into America – his back garden – and winning the world title.
“I didn’t sleep for three days because I was scared that if I went to sleep I would wake up and it would be a dream. I swear I was walking on air.”

Hasn’t all been plain-sailing
With 39 wins from 42 fights, Brook has already sealed his legacy in British boxing.
There has been some disappointment along the way, though.
Last time out, he lost out to Terence Crawford for the WBO Welterweight title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas – who unforgivingly delivered a killer blow to knock his rival out.
Intriguingly, the judges had scored Brook as leading the fight before the TKO.
Gennady Golovkin and Errol Spence Jr are the other two fighters who have managed to get the better of Brook in the ring, with his first loss against Triple G.

But he was praised for showing courage to step up two weight divisions to make the fight.
Still, he needed surgery to fix a broken eye circuit.
Mrs Brook
Brook is often joined in the ring after fights by his other half, Lindsey.
Although, she prefers to keep her private life away from prying eyes and not much is known about her personally.
Pretty Lindsey, also 35, is mother to Brook’s three children.

Nevaeh was born in 2012 and Estelle was welcomed three years later, months before Brook’s machete attack.

Khan, who is believed to have amassed a £30million fortune, enjoys the high-life with a plush holiday home in Dubai.
Through the years, he’s splashed the cash on fancy cars, including his dream motor – a £160,000 Porsche 911 Turbo.
Watch collector Khan also ensured his son Muhammad followed his lead in expensive jewellery by gifting him his first Rolex worth £30,000 for his first birthday.
And it’s Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom who keeps the Bolton-born brawler on his toes.
BETTING SPECIAL – GET KHAN AT HUGE 40/1 OR BROOK AT 30/1 FOR BOXING SHOWDOWN
The holiday home
Last year, Khan downsized his living arrangements in the UK.
He sold his £1.2million Bolton mansion for a more modest bungalow, which Faryal reportedly spent £250,000 revamping.
But clearly their biggest spend went on a luxury Dubai pad they bought in 2021.

Khan happily showed off his purchase on Instagram, and gave us a glimpse of his picturesque pool and sprawling rooms.
“Bought a dream car and holiday home in Dubai for my family and I. God has been kind. 16 years in the sport,” he captioned a post of a picture of the mega mansion with two expensive cars sat in the driveway.
“Hard work dedication pays off,” he added.

Cars to die for
The dream car Khan mentioned on social media when talking about his lavish property was in full view of the home’s entrance.
He later shared another post talking about his incredible Porsche 911 Turbo that’s valued at £160,000.
He captioned the pic, “Work hard & enjoy the rest of your life.”
The new motor boasts 640 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque from its 3.8-liter twin-turbo boxer-six engine.
Over the years, Khan has built a fleet to envy.
The Meet the Khans: Big in Bolton star has his own special luxury collection of supercars, including a £271,000 Lamborghini Aventador, £233,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom and a £65,000 Range Rover.

In 2020, Khan was happy to share an extravagant purchase on social media.
And no doubt he would’ve wowed his 1.4 million followers on Instagram with an astonishing timepiece.
He revealed a snap of his wrist modelling a Richard Mille RM 032 dive watch that can cost anywhere from £95,000 to £111,000.
“Not everyday I treat myself. Just picked up my @richardmille #RM32 #watches #RM,” he captioned the snap.
A year later, Khan’s kindness extended to his son, Muhammad when he bought him his first watch.
He was handed a £30,000 Rolex, and on an Instagram stories clip he shared a photo of the pricey gift.
“Got my little boy his first birthday present, his watch collection needs to [be] on [point],” he wrote alongside the picture.

Khan and wife Faryal have been married since 2013, although they’ve had theirs ups-and-downs.
The 30-year-old Pakistani-American beauty was born in Brooklyn. Her father Shaukat and mother Zia have a luxury home on Staten Island.
She graduated from Rutgers University School of Arts & Science with a double major in political science and journalism.
The model also owns her own make-up brand, Shop Faryal, and is an Instagram star and YouTuber.

On her website it says she “strives to be a role model for her little girl, showing her that sometimes the king is a woman.”
Their wedding was a glam occasion – with 1,000 guests invited to New York’s five-star Waldorf Astoria Hotel for the nuptials.
Soon after, they welcomed daughter Lamaisah in 2014 and Alayna in 2018, while baby boy Muhammad arrived in 2020. More

But the 33-year-old boxer’s bank balance has been beefed up by sponsors and business ventures outside of sport.
His Furocity label has landed in frozen supermarket chain Iceland, launching with an energy drink and will also feature food and beer.
Fury also sells his own merch, has fashion collaborations, and regular fight sponsors.
However, despite joking about releasing a masturbation lotion, he hasn’t delved into the world of self-pleasure.

Because of his sporting prowess, Fury was heavily courted by ESPN and landed a blockbuster deal with the US sports channel in 2019 for his next five fights worth a reported £80million.
He also signed an advisory deal with MTK Global – a boxing management company which was founded by controversial Irish businessman Daniel Kinahan.
Fury’s success and fame have helped him grow his own brand.
His official online merchandise store sells T-shirts, polo shirts, gym vests, kids wear and signed memorabilia including replica belts.
While clothes are reasonably priced, costing between £15 for T-shirts and up to £35 for hoodies a signed WBC belt will set punters back £999.99.
Ahead of his fights, Fury has also been known to wear garish bespoke suits – often with his image on them.
Designed by Italian company Claudio Lugli, who also kit out Amir Khan and Conor McGregor, the fashion brand has teamed up with the two-time world heavyweight star for a collaboration.

The Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King Collection features some of those suits, as well as a variety of satin cotton shirts priced from £70.
It is believed Fury gets a cut of sales, but a percentage isn’t known.

When Fury is in the ring, he’ll often wear his sponsors on his shorts.
Over the years, he has inked contracts with the likes of American company Fashion Nova and partnered up with Wow Hydrate – a sports water drink.
Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne and England international Harry Maguire are also ambassadors for Wow Hydrate.
Back in 2018, Marbella retail company Lund Group began a partnership with Fury as his official fight camp sponsor.
The Morecambe-based fighter gave them an honourable mention on Twitter.
He wrote, “Massive shoutout @lund new camp sponsors.”
Fury is always considerate to those who are keen to back him.

The one that got away…
Before Fury v Wilder II in 2020, Tyson made the astonishing claim he was masturbating seven times a day in preparation for the fight.
He said: “I’m masturbating seven times a day to keep my testosterone pumping.”
Soon after, he shared a brilliant clip of his press conference spliced with a scene from the Wolf of Wall Street on his Instagram to suggest he could be doing EVEN MORE.
Amid the build up to their fight, Wilder weighed in and suggested Fury should use “thick lotion” if he plans to keep the daily rate up.
Fury then amusingly claimed he was going to start selling ‘Tyson’s W**k Lotion’.
Officially, it never happened. But Fury did share an image of a bottle with an ‘Easy Stroke Masturbation Lotion’ label on the front.

The mock-up bottle also had Fury’s signature while the Instagram post included a caption.
“Easy stroke by Gypsyking. For best results use up to 7 times a day,” it read.
Sadly, the bottle never made it to the shops. More
