KELL BROOK has announced his retirement from boxing. He stated that "it's over for us."
Shortly after his February victory over Amir Khan, the Sheffield slugger began talks with Chris Eubank Jr about a second consecutive domestic fight.
The former IBF welterweight champion has decided to end his long and successful career.
According to him, "I've had a lengthy conversation with my family and my father and it's done." I will never again box.
"It can be a bit emotional to actually say this out loud.
"My man is relieved. "I think everyone around me is happy."

Brook, who was 36 years old earlier this month, is happy to have been able to get out of the fight without suffering any serious injuries.
He said, "[The] rruth] is that boxing is very, very dangerous and dangerous sport. One in which you can legally be killed In the Ring."
"And I'm done with all my faculties intact."

He stated, "I don't see it." It's no longer there."
Brook is at peace with his life, having suffered no losses to future Hall-of-Famers Errol Spence Jr or Terence Crawford after his victory over Khan.
He confessed: "I needed Khan fight, I had to settle the grudge and the feud.
"I have no dark feelings left, but I believe that once you are in the ring with someone, it passes.
"Me and Amir exchanged some hateful words in the build up, but that's boxing.
"But after the fight, I respect him. He was a true fighter."
Brook isn't regretful about his career, despite two serious orbital bone injuries that cost him his crown as IBF welterweight champion. He also lost his reign at Bramall Lane 2017 in a heartbreaking loss.
He described his time as a professional wrestler: "Like he said, highs & lows, a rollercoaster. It's been a long road and all that I know.
"I have been a world champion and that night in California against Shawn Porter will stay with me for the rest of my life.
"As will my final fight with Amir. It won't get any better than that walk into the ring."
"It was my dream from the time I started boxing when I was nine years old to become a world champion. It was an unforgettable night.
"I have been in the ring alongside Spence, Crawford and Golovkin. I finally got my fight against Amir Khan.
"I didn't feel the need to continue after that. I am one of those boxers who is fortunate enough to not have to work.
