Eddie Hearn has revealed that KELL BROOK was offered a significant fight against Conor Benn this summer.
Benn was at the ringside as Brook ended his nearly two decade-long rivalry with Amir Khan.
Kell Brook received a "significant offer" to fight Conor Benn during the summer
The former IBF Welterweight Champion has been a hot commodity since the six-round victory.
Hearn officially offered Brook the fight against Benn, but middleweight Chris Eubank Jr is also an option.
He said to iFL TV, "I've been talking with Kell Brook and his father and stuff like that."
"I won’t get into it too much, but we’ve made them an important offer to fight Conor Benn.
"I agree with Kell that he should fight again if he wants to do so sooner than later.
"Once he begins to enjoy himself and relax, and the weight goes back on it becomes more of an obsession."
Free Bets: Get more than PS2,000 in NEW CUSTOMER DEALSBenn, 25 years old, will be returning to South Africa on April 16th with South African Chris van Heerden (34), in talks to replace him.
Hearn said that Brook, 35, would be ready to go by June. If not, they will cancel the return for the summer blockbuster.
He stated that he looked like a millionaire right now and would be ready to fight in June.
"But at the exact same time, I believe it's going be a ridiculous amount to get him back into the ring since he doesn't really require it.
I think he is thinking to himself, and his father is thinking, "Well, if it's crazy, we'll do that." We're happy if it doesn't.
"It is important that they are happy. I also understand their situation. We said to them, "If you're willing to go in June we'll hold the April 16th fight."
But that doesn't seem to be the case. We'll make progress with April 16th, and will continue the discussions with Kell.
"We can hopefully find some compromise to win the fight in September and October."
Brook and Eubank Jr were involved in a Twitter dispute over catchweight terms.
Brook has decided not to fight directly at the 160lb mark, while Eubank Jr., 32, refused to comply with his request for 155lb.
Hearn believes the row is an indication that Benn makes more sense to the Sheffield hero.
He stated that "Kell probably thinks, 'Does he really want to fight Eubank at middleweight?'
"Imagine Eubank losing at middleweight. Amir Khan just beat me'. That would be a great way for me to bow out, just like Froch did when he beat Groves.
But I also know that Kell would love to make a lot of money and win a fight he believes he can win.
"So hopefully, we can get it done. Respect to those guys, and we'll watch what happens."
