Amir Khan hinted at ‘calling it a day’ after his brutal loss to bitter rival Kell Brook
Sheffield’s former IBF welterweight world champion looked to roll back the clock, breathing new life into his career.
But for Khan, he is starring retirement in the face, having been unable to box to same brilliant standards he once set.
Devastated Khan told Sky Sports: “I need to sit down with my family, but it is more towards the end of my career.
“The love of the sport isn’t there any more. That is a sign for me that I should maybe be calling it a day.”
Brook insisted for over ten years that he was the superior operator, despite Khan’s Olympic silver medal and Stateside success.
And his performance inside an electric Manchester Arena can lay claim to that.

Brook said: “I knew it was going to happen. It was just a matter of time before I was getting him out of there.
“Those are the fights I wanted to be involved in when I walked into a gym as a kid.
“War of the Roses. King of the North. I knew from 18 years old I was a better fighter than him.
“He had the push and the promoters behind him because he won an Olympic medal.”
