And Brook revealed he is in a good place ahead of the fight, suggesting the thought of losing has not crossed his mind.

But if his compatriot Khan does get the better of him the 35-year-old says he will give up boxing.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Brook told Jim White and Simon Jordan: “I don’t really think about losing.

“But if we have to bring that up and, even though I can’t get that in my head that I am going to lose, but I would call it a draw.

“End of the boxing, [gloves] to be hung up.”

But Brook does not believe he will be stepping away from the ring as he is confident he will beat rival Khan.

And should he defeat the 34-5 boxer, Brook could set his sights on another Brit – Conor Benn.

Brook added: “I think my mojo is back, I’m feeling fantastic and I’m enjoying training.

“Obviously everybody and their dog is talking about it and I’m just excited. I know that Conor Benn is banging the drum for some big fights.

“This is why I love the sport; I love the challenge, he looked fantastic – sensational – in his last fight against Chris Algieri.

“We’ve sparred together and we are very good friends as well, but obviously this is a sport and it’s about going out there to the boxing fans who pay and watch that I believe that I’m the best.

“I believe that it would be a fantastic match-up, me and Benn.”
