Amir Khan and Kell Brook finally come clean about THOSE infamous sparring sessions

Amir Khan and Kell Brook have opened up about those infamous sparring sessions that started their bitter feud.

Brook put an end to his rivalry with Khan in emphatic fashion on Saturday, stopping his fellow Brit on his feet in the sixth round to win one of the most bitter grudge matches in British boxing history.
