    The right decision, good luck Kell for your retirement pity you took the GGG fight. Over all though a career to be proud of

    Shame as I'd like to see Brook fight Charlo as that put be a easy win for Brook (despite being way past his prime) and see him become a 2 weight champion.

    How would that be an easy fight. Brook would be outweighed by at least a stone in the ring vs a younger and fresher opponent.

    Im happy for Brook though. Got the Khan fight and it is the right time to walk away now.

    Good man! Thanks for some great fights over the years. Won a world title. I wish more fighters hung them up at the right time.

    AND won the Lord Lonsdale Challenge Belt outright........


    Glad he's not lined up as an opponent for either Eubank or Benn, I'd hate to see him be used by either of those two as a stepping stone.

    Good fighter. Good career. Could never take to him for some reason but achieved plenty. He managed to eek a lot more money out of it but I remember seeing him against Zerafa which he was lucky in. He was done then.

    Shame. I reckon he’d have given Benn plenty to think about tbh and arguably win. Not convinced he’ll stay retired but all the best Kell.

    Also his career was woefully mismanaged btw.

    Definitely the right decision. A career to be proud of and his losses were to only the elite. GGG fight was only ever going one way and it affected his career but I can see why he took it at the time.

    All the best Kell

    Crazy to anyone that watched the fight that Brook is the one that’s retired and Khan is fighting on.

    A relief for me. Brilliant decision. His mind is now at rest, poor bugger. Glad he battered Khan.

    I think even now he'd have most likely beaten Conor Benn but I didn't like the sound of him and Eubank fighting. Good decision to hang em up. But who's sweat is Dom going to drink now I wonder

    The right decision, i still think he would have beat Benn, i just hope he doesn't decide to take it a year or so from now.

    The right time to hang em up imo. Finish on the high that was beating his foe khan.
    Yes id like to see him fight Benn but he is 36 now and probably could of lived a more healthy lifestyle, if the rumours are true.
    He has been a solid fighter with a world title win. Could of made better career choice but he did make good money for GGG which was the one we all thought was a bad career move
    Great career to be proud of. Enjoy your retirement Kell.
